The product, in the report: Saber Cast Black 3-Burner Grill
In August 2017, I purchased a Saber 3-Burner Cast Black Grill. During the weekend of August 11, 2018, when I attempted to light the grill, it burst into flames and exploded. We called the fire department, and the grill was left inoperable. I reported the issue to Saber, and they promptly sent a representative to pickup the grill and provide a new one. (Saber Case # [REDACTED])
This past weekend, on July 27, 2019, I went to light the grill that Saber provided in return for the defective grill in August 2018--and the same thing happened. A loud explosion, a fireball, and all of the grills were displaced when I attempted to light the grill. I called Saber to report the issue again; they declined to provide a refund, and explained that the issue is a “delayed ignition” issue which can be addressed by simply cleaning out the burners.
There is a real safety issue with these grills. The two issues I have experienced in the last two years are identical to the issue described in the 2017 recall of Saber Grills, although neither one of the Saber Grills I used were within the scope of the recall.
I requested a refund from Saber Grills, but they declined to provide a refund. They stated that any refund must come from the dealer where I purchased the grill. This grill, however, came directly from the manufacturer.
