CPSC, Advanced Catalyst Systems, LLC Announce Recall to Repair Cheftech Gas Grills
Burn
The hazard
Advanced Catalyst Systems independently discovered that sustained strong winds blowing into the back scoop of the hood can force hot exhaust through the control panel and could cause it to overheat. If the front panel overheats, it can compromise the integrity of the gas valve assembly, which could cause a fire.
Incidents reported: None.
