NEW YORK, April 14 (Reuters) — Conair LLC is recalling approximately 220,000 Cuisinart Propel+ Four Burner 3-In-1 Gas Grills sold nationwide at Walmart and Lowe’s due to a laceration hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced Tuesday. The recall involves stainless steel housing that can develop sharp edges, posing a risk of deep cuts. Consumers are urged to stop using the grills immediately.
The recall covers model numbers CPG-4B2, CPG-4B3, CPG-4B4, and CPG-4B5, with date codes from January 2024 through December 2025. The model number and date code are printed on a label inside the grill lid or on the back panel. The grills were sold in stainless steel with four burners and a 3-in-1 cooking function.
This is not a fire or gas leak recall. The hazard is physical: sharp metal edges on the grill’s housing. Conair has received 33 reports of lacerations, including six injuries requiring stitches. Cuts occurred during assembly, cleaning, and normal use.
Where Were These Grills Sold?
Walmart and Lowe’s sold the grills nationwide, both in stores and online, from January 2024 through March 2026. The recall is national in scope. Customers who purchased from third-party resellers should verify model numbers against the CPSC list.
What to Do If You Own a Recalled Cuisinart Grill
Stop using the grill immediately. Locate the model number and date code. Contact Conair for a full refund. Do not return the grill to the store. Conair will provide a prepaid shipping label or arrange pickup. Refunds are issued after Conair receives the product. Processing takes 2–4 weeks.
Required proof: model number, date code, and proof of purchase (receipt or bank statement). If you lost the receipt, Conair can verify through purchase date range and store records.
Refund Amount
Full purchase price, up to $349.99. The exact amount depends on the model and where it was purchased.
