The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on Tuesday a voluntary recall of 14,000 Weber Genesis gas grills because of a fire hazard.
The gas hose attached to the side burner of the grill can crack or break off during shipping, causing it to leak gas when in use.
Weber has received 49 complaints of hose damage or gas leaks. No injuries have been reported.
The grills are sold in the United States and Canada. The product names and model numbers included in the recall are:
- Genesis® E-320, models 3751001; 3757001; 3758001; 385100
