The Commission reported that "[B]etween April 2004 and October 2005, Nexgrill received 20 reports of gas grill fires, including three reports of minor burn injuries."  Nexgrill failed to report the defect to the Commission for at least 10 months.  For more information, please review the Commission's announcement as well as the recall.
