The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with QVC and Tristar Products Inc., announced a voluntary recall of about 13,500 electric contact grills. Cooking oils or sprays applied to the grill’s cooking plates can ignite or flare up at any date when used on the grill. QVC and Tristar have five reports of that happening, including two reports of minor burns.

The electric contact grills were manufactured in China and sold by QVC through its television station, web page, toll free number and its employee, retail and Studio stores. They were additionally sold by Tristar through their website at www.hulkhogangrill.com, and through a direct response television

commercial from May 2007 through August 2007 for about $100.

This recall involves a dual surface electric contact grill sold under the “Hulk Hogan’s final Grill” sort. The silver and gray grills have detachable cooking plates and fold for easy storage. Please see the CPSC press release for model number and more info on the recalled grill.

Consumers will get a revised instruction manual with a cooking spray/oil use warning. For more data, you may plus contact QVC at (800) 367-9444 or visit their website at www.qvc.com. You may contact Tristar at (800) 718-5135 or visit their website at www.tristarproductsinc.com.
