Published 5:00 am Friday, June 2, 2006

The following recall has been announced:

* About 16,000 Nexgrill gas grills, manufactured by Nexgrill Industries Inc., have been recalled because the hose connecting the propane tank to the burner manifold can detach if it is too close to the firebox, causing a gas leak. The company has received 31 reports of incidents, including four injuries, two cases of property damage, 28 fires and three melted hoses.

The stainless steel grills have the model number 720-0025. They were sold at Target, Costco Canada, H-E-B, Chase-Pitkin and Gander Mountain stores around the country between December 2003 and March 2005.

Customers should contact Nexgrill to receive a free repair kit at 888-361-0888. For more information visit http://nexgrill0025.ser order.com or www.cpsc.gov.
