Every line below is in CPSC’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
Certain wind conditions blowing at these grills can cause overheating or flashbacks under the control panel. Flames could damage the hose that supplies gas to the burner, causing an uncontrolled flame. Also, flames could come in contact with user’s hands, resulting in burns.
