Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Char-Broil has announced a voluntary recall to repair approximately 1.2 million Char-Broil Model 1200 table top LP gas grills sold nationwide between January 1992 and March 1996 for about $30. The black steel grills measure approximately 11 inches wide, 18 inches long, and 9 inches deep when closed and were sold through hardware and home supply stores including Ace Hardware, Best Buy, and Home Depot.
The grills pose an explosion and fire hazard. If dirt, sand, or other debris becomes lodged in the grill's regulator valve, the regulator may appear to be shut off when it is not, allowing gas to continue flowing and building up over time. If a consumer attempts to relight the grill after gas has accumulated, the grill could burst into flames or explode. Char-Broil and the CPSC are not aware of any injuries related to these grills. According to the recall notice, consumers who own these grills should call Char-Broil at (800) 241-7548, and the company will send a new, free replacement regulator with an internal filter to prevent debris from interfering with the regulator.
