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 Oct 23, 2022, sent to the company Nov 7, 2022, published by CPSC Nov 22, 2022

    The product, in the report: Broil King PCG-5 Nonstick Professional Portable Countertop Griddle

    My wife plugged in and turned on a new electric griddle. It started smoking and burning. I unplugged it and tried to take the smoking grease drip tray out realizing the heating element had fallen into the tray. No injury

  2. First aid

    Made Apr 5, 2016, sent to the company Apr 13, 2016, published by CPSC Apr 27, 2016

    The product, in the report: http://www.broilking.com/model_pcg-10.html Model# 550

    I own and use a Broil King identical to the one in the following link: http://www.broilking.com/model_pcg-10.html . One of the handles/legs became partially detached due to a faulty screw shortly after purchasing it, and while using it. It caused quite a mess with what I was cooking on it, creating a burn hazzard. I have contacted the company several times - at least once via telephone, and several times via email. The man I spoke with during the telephone call was less than helpful -- he tersely told me to go to a hardware store and buy another screw! All email communication has been ignored.

    The product also comes with little legs that are supposed to lift the back of the griddle up to drain grease from the cooking surface. They do not stay on; one came off during use, causing grease to splash all over my counter and my shirt.

    Please note: I don’t have an exact incident date, so supplied a “guess”.
