Charbroil Bistro Pro Electric Grills are being recalled because they pose a shock hazard. The grounding wire for the grill’s heating element can disconnect, therefore losing fault protection.

The units have a “CB” logo plate on the front of the lid and “CHARBROIL” that is printed on the front control panel.
The product label listing the model and serial number, including a four‑digit manufacturing date code in year and month (YYMM) format, is located on the bottom shelf of full-size grills and on the side bar of tabletop models.
