What you should do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled barbeques, and inspect the burner hoses to make sure they have been properly assembled.
If the hose is to the rear of the installed heat shield, the barbeque has been improperly assembled and consumers should contact Fiesta for replacement hoses, assembly instructions and, if necessary, for assistance in examining the grill.
