OPSS Issues Grill Safety Warning

The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has issued a safety warning relating to the use of gas grills on certain Belling, Stoves and New World gas range cookers manufactured by Glen Dimplex Home Appliances (GDHA).

If the gas grill is used with the door closed, there is a risk that dangerous levels of carbon monoxide can build up, posing a significant risk of serious injury or death to those within the immediate environment.

For further information, consumers should contact GDHA on 0800 110 5728 or via their website:

OPSS has issued safety requirements to GDHA, who are writing to all consumers reminding them to only use their gas grill with the grill door fully open.

Office for Product Safety and Standards Chief Executive Graham Russell said:

I urge consumers to ensure the door is always kept fully open when the grill is in operation and remind all consumers of the importance of following the safety instructions for their gas cookers. Glen Dimplex has issued this warning following instructions from OPSS. We will monitor their actions and hold them to account.
