The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Mar 31, 2021, sent to the company Apr 8, 2021, published by CPSC Apr 22, 2021

    The product, in the report: Flexible Natural Gas 10 foot long, 3/8 supply line with 5/8-18 Flare fitting

    A flexible Natural Gas supply line purchased 2 years ago made by Ningbo Wanan (I think sold under the [REDACTED] brand) brass flare fitting split. This resulted in a steady leak of Natural Gas where the supply line attached to the grill that could have resulted in a significant fire or explosion if not discovered.

    The product, in the report: Propane gas regulator model RA329 by Ningbo Wanan, China to connect a Brinkman BBQ grill to a standard 20lb propane cylinder

    Defective propane gas regulator model RA329 manufactured by Ningbo Wanan, China. Product was included in the purchase of a Brinkman brand outdoor gas barbeque grill. Regulator functioned well several times before failing. On or about the tenth use, the regulator failed upon ignition of grill. Uncontrolled flames shot out from grill in all directions, including from below the controls, where the propane mixes with air (not at the regulator, the regulator was sealed and properly installed). No injury other than singed hair as user tried to access the main valve at the 20-lb propane cylinder to shut-off gas flow. Replacement of regulator with a different brand/model expected to resolve the issue.
