Fire and burn hazards prompt recall of 665,000 Perfect Flame gas grills sold at Lowe’s

Perfect Flame RecallThe U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission yesterday announced the recall of about 665,000 Perfect Flame gas grills, which were made in China and sold exclusively at Lowe's stores nationwide from September 2005 through May 2009 and in Canada from December 2007 through May 2009.

According to the CPSC, the grills pose fire and burn hazards—burners on the grill can deteriorate and the lids of some models can catch fire. As of the recall date, Perfect Flame had received about 40 reports of fires from the burners deteriorating and about 23 reports of the lids catching fire.

Recalled models include the SLG2006B, SLG2006BN, SLG2006C, SLG2006CN, SLG2007A, SLG2007B, SLG2007BN, SLG2007D, SLG2007DN, and SLG2008A (shown).
