A defective grill can result in a fire or explosion causing severe burns and other injuries, and even catching your house on fire. If you have been injured by a defective grill, our accident attorneys are here to help you pursue justice for your injuries.
BBQ Grill Defects
Defects which can cause BBQ grill accidents include:
- Unstable grill design
- Faulty propane tank
- Faulty regulator
- Defective propane line
- Defective venture tubes
- Inadequate or inaccurate instructions
- Lack of proper safety warnings
Gas grills are more prone to have dangerous defects, but charcoal grills that are unstable, have confusing or misleading directions, or lack the proper safety warnings can cause serious or fatal injuries, too. For instance, charcoal grill can continue to emit carbon monoxide long after they seem to be safely extinguished, and should come with safety warnings that let consumers know not to take them inside where they can cause CO2 poisoning.
