Eastwind Industries recalls Kuuma IR Stow and Go barbecue grills due to fire risk from propane leaks if fuel container isn't properly installed. Consumers must stop using and get updated instructions.
If the fuel container is not completely threaded on the regulator during installation, the propane tanks can leak fuel. This poses a fire hazard to consumers.
