Char-Broil is recalling roughly 10,605 Bistro Pro electric grills sold in the United States because a grounding wire inside the unit can come loose, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. If that wire disconnects, the grill loses the fault protection it is supposed to provide, which the agency says creates a risk of electric shock. Another 342 of the grills went to buyers in Canada. No injuries have been reported.
The grills came in full-size and tabletop versions. Only grills made during three months are covered: date codes 2510, 2511 and 2512, which correspond to October, November and December of 2025. The four-digit code is printed in year-month format on the product label. Owners can also identify the grills by the CB logo plate mounted on the front of the lid and the CHARBROIL name across the front control panel.
Consumers should stop using the grills right away. To get a free repair kit, they must register with Char-Broil, which then sends the instructions. The kit contains a screwdriver, a wrench, screws and a label to attach once the fix is done. Char-Broil is also offering a $25 digital gift card to customers who send in photos showing the repair was completed, redeemable at participating retailers.
The company, Char-Broil LLC of Columbus, Georgia, can be reached at 866-671-7988 from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. MT Monday through Saturday, or by email at [email protected]. The company also lists recall details on its website, under Product Recalls in the Parts & Support section. Federal law prohibits selling a product that is subject to a Commission-ordered or voluntary recall.
The notice lands in a run of CPSC recalls this month. Hayward Industries recalled Universal Pool Heaters after the agency warned the units can give off high levels of carbon monoxide while running. Earlier in September, Cade California Electronic recalled Finger Light Toys because button cell batteries inside them were reachable by children, and swallowed batteries can cause internal chemical burns and death. In early September, the CPSC also posted recalls of Alanca 6-Drawer Dressers, which the agency said can tip over or trap a child when left unanchored, and of SHEIN Distribution Corporation Spiral Toys, which it said violate the small ball ban covering items meant for children under three.
The recall notice does not say how long the grills were on sale or where they were purchased, and it gives no estimate of how many of the affected units have already been repaired.
