Latest News & Updates
December 2020
GrillBlazer recalled Su-VGun and GrillGun propane torch guns because propane gas can leak from the products, posing a fire hazard. Consumers were instructed to stop using the recalled torch guns immediately and contact GrillBlazer for instructions and a free repair, if required [1].
What Is the GrillBlazer Torch?
The recalled products are GrillBlazer Su-VGun and GrillGun propane torch guns. The Su-VGun is a high-powered propane torch gun designed to sear meat, while the GrillGun is a high-powered propane torch gun designed to light charcoal, wood grills, smokers, and other items requiring a clean-burning propane torch.
The Su-VGun is black with “Su-VGun” printed in yellow on the barrel and measures about 14.5 inches by 8 inches by 2 inches. The GrillGun is black with “GrillGun” printed in yellow on the barrel and measures about 21 inches by 8 inches by 2 inches.
Reported Risks or Injuries
- Propane gas leaks
- Fire incidents
- Burn injuries if leaking gas ignites
- Property damage to grills, patios, homes, or outdoor cooking areas
- Smoke exposure or emergency response costs in serious incidents
How Does the Problem Occur?
The reported hazard occurs when propane leaks from the recalled torch gun. Propane is highly flammable, and leaked gas can ignite near grills, smokers, open flames, sparks, hot surfaces, or other ignition sources.
Because these products are intended for high-heat outdoor cooking and lighting applications, users may be close to the flame source when a leak occurs. A sudden fire can create burn risks and property damage even if the user reacts quickly.

Who May Be Liable?

- Manufacturers or component suppliers, if supported by the facts

Do I Qualify?
