Thousands of grills recalled due to risk of electric shock
Consumers should stop using the grills and request a free repair kit after a grounding wire defect created an electric shock hazard, officials said.
On Thursday, Char-Broil announced a recall of about 10,605 Bistro Pro electric grills due to an electric shock hazard, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The recall stems from a grounding wire connected to the heating element that can disconnect, eliminating fault protection and creating an electric shock hazard.
Only units with manufacturing date codes 2510, 2511, or 2512 are affected, with the model and serial-number label located on the bottom shelf or side bar of grills.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled grills and contact Char-Broil to receive a free repair kit.
Retailers including Ace Hardware, Lowe, Walmart, Wayfair, QVC, and Amazon sold the products from October 2025 through June 2026 for approximately $150 to $250.
