WASHINGTON Char Broil Bistro Pro electric grills are being recalled nationwide because a grounding wire can disconnect, creating a risk of electric shock, according to a notice announced Sept. 17, 2026.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the wire connected to the grill’s heating element may lose its fault protection function. If that happens, parts of the grill could become energized and pose a shock hazard to users.
The recall affects consumers who own the identified Char Broil Bistro Pro electric grills. The federal notice did not provide additional details about the number of products involved, sales locations, identifying markings or reported injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the product and contact Char Broil for information about obtaining a refund or replacement. Owners should follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safely handling the grill while seeking a remedy.
The CPSC classified the recall as unclassified in the notice. Consumers who believe they have an affected grill should compare their product with the information in the official recall announcement before using it again.
