Saber Grills of Columbus, Ga., is recalling about 26,500 gas grills and 3,400 warranty parts and conversion kits sold in the U.S. and Canada.

The grills’ LP regulator can allow gas to flow at a higher pressure than intended, which can result in a gas leak and flame burst from the burner knobs, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.

The firm has received 35 reports of regulators malfunctioning, including three reports of singed arms and two reports of burned or singed hair.

This recall involves Model RA329 LP regulators with a date code in the range of 1120 to 1344, which were:

• sold with certain SABER LP grills, warranty part kits, and natural gas to LP conversion kits;
• installed as warranty or service parts in certain other SABER LP grills; or
• installed in SABER natural gas grills and burners if they have been converted to use LP instead of natural gas.

The following model numbers are being recalled:

The model number of the grill is located on a rating label located on the underside of the grease tray.

The regulator date code is stamped on the regulator adjacent to the gas tank connection, and the regulator model number is on the center of the regulator.

The grills and LP regulators, manufactured in China, were sold at specialty outdoor living stores nationwide, including Family Leisure, Fortunoff Backyard Store, and Watson’s, and through authorized websites and catalogs including Bed, Bath & Beyond and Frontgate, from September 2011, to May 2017, for between $800 and $2,000.

The price of the LP conversion kit ranges from $90 to $105. The warranty parts were also sold as service parts for between $50 and $110.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled grills and regulators and contact Saber for a free repair kit with installation instructions. A video on how to install the replacement components is available at www.sabergrills.com/Support/SafetyBulletins.aspx.

Consumers may contact Saber Grills toll-free at 866-671-7988 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (ET) Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (ET) Saturday, or online at recall.sabergrills.com for more information.
