In cooperation with CSA International, Char-Broil of Columbus, Georgia, is voluntarily recalling approximately 1,000 gas grills to replace temperature gauges. If moisture enters the gauges, the glass cover may break, posing a risk of injury to those nearby. Char-Broil is aware of 30 reports of gauges breaking, including 12 incidents of consumers who reported minor injuries.

The voluntary product recall of outdoor gas barbeque grills includes three series of grills: The Commercial Series, Professional Series and Stainless Steel Series. The specific component involved in the recall is the temperature gauge mounted on the grill lid. The Commercial Series models are constructed from both painted metal and Stainless Steel. The Professional Series and Stainless Steel Series models are Stainless Steel construction.

• The Commercial Series gas grills have model numbers 4632210, 4632215, 463221503 and 463231503. The units are sold with three main burners – with or without a side burner – and either a metal front panel or a cabinet with doors.
