WASHINGTON – The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced two recalls of more than 60,000 gas grills on Friday.

Wal-Mart is recalling some 60,000 Red Devil grills because the air intake tube can warm to temperatures as high as 750 degrees Fahrenheit, putting consumers in danger of being burned. Also, heat can cause the grill to collapse.

The CPSC said there had been 44 reports of people being burned on the legs, hands and fingers, and more than 1,000 grills have been returned because they collapsed. None of those injuries involved grills sold by Wal-Mart.

The grills were manufactured by e4L Inc., and Quantum North America Inc., which now are out of business. They sold the grills on television infomercials from May 1998 to January 1999.

Only grills sold by Wal-Mart are included in this recall. The grills say “Red Devil” and show a devil cooking. The words “The Portable Outdoor Kitchen” are printed on the lid, and the black plastic base above the tripod says “QUANTUM HOMEWARES.”

For information, call Wal-Mart at (800) 925-6278 or CPSC at (800) 638-2772.
