Paradise Grills recalls outdoor kitchens due to burn hazards

Paradise Grills outdoor kitchen recall overview: 

• Who: Paradise Grills recalled about 18,000 of its First Generation Outdoor Kitchens.
• Why: Gas can collect inside the lid, causing an explosion when someone lights the grill.
• Where: The Paradise Grills outdoor kitchen recall is active in the United States.

Paradise Grills issued a recall on about 18,000 of its First Generation Outdoor Kitchen products after two incidents of the grills exploding, causing severe burns. 

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website published the recall Feb. 16. 

It applies to all First Generation Paradise Grills Outdoor Kitchens sold at Paradise Grills showrooms and at home, boat and RV shows nationwide from January 2009 through December 2020, for between $4,000 and $15,000.

According to the Paradise Grills recall, liquid propane gas can accumulate inside the closed lid and cabinets, causing an explosion when the user relights the grill, posing fire and burn hazards to the user.

The company received two reports of explosions, causing serious injuries to consumers. It is not currently facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.

Consumers should stop using grill and return for repair, outdoor kitchen recall says

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled grills and contact Paradise Grills to receive a new 16-by-4-inch stainless steel vent to be installed on the First Generation Outdoor Kitchen, according to the Paradise Grills recall.

Consumers in Florida, Texas, Georgia and Alabama should immediately contact Paradise Grills to schedule a date for completion of their free repair. Consumers in all other states should immediately contact Paradise Grills to receive free shipment of the vent, installation instructions and reimbursement for the installation cost by a qualified professional or technician. 

The firm will require a copy of the installer’s invoice or billing statement for the installation service, the recall notice says.
