The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) filed charges against the company for allegedly failing to report a hazard with its gas grills. Between April 2004 and October 2005, Nexgrill received 20 reports of gas grill fires, including three reports of minor burn injuries. The CPSC alleged Nexgrill failed to report the defect for 10 months, even after it had sufficient information that the gas grills contained a defect which could create a substantial product hazard or created an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death. In June 2006, Nexgrill voluntarily recalled about 16,000 of the grills. Nexgrill has agreed to pay a $300,000 civil penalty. (Jan-15-07)[]
