Weber Genesis Series Gas Grills Recalled

March 6, 2007      Spanish version
Weber Genesis 320 Series gas grills are being recalled. The gas hose attached to the side burner of the grill can crack or break off during shipping, causing it to leak gas when in use, which poses a fire hazard to consumers.

Weber has received 49 reports of hose damage or gas leaks. No injuries have been reported.

This recall involves the Weber Genesis 320 Series gas grills which are designed to be used with either natural gas or with liquid propane gas tanks, and are equipped with a flush-mounted side burner accessory. The gas hose is made of stainless steel.

The grills are sold in stainless steel and in black, blue or green porcelain enamel. All serial numbers begin with the prefix "DI." The model and serial number are located on the tank blocker/drip pan holder located inside the storage cart.

Only the following product names and model numbers are included in this recall:

The grills were sold at Home Depot, Ace Hardware and Home Centers, Tru-Serve, Do-It Best, and other home improvement and hardware stores nationwide from November 2006 through February 2007 for between $450 to $770.
