Gas cooker warning issued as grill doors pose 'serious carbon monoxide threat'

A safety warning has been issued by the Office for Product Safety and Standards for those who regularly use gas cookers.

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. If the grill door is left closed, there is a high risk that dangerous levels of carbon monoxide can build up.

If the carbon monoxide is left to increase, there is a significant risk of serious injury or death to those within the immediate environment. This warning is aimed towards individuals with grills made by Belling, Stoves and New World gas range cookers manufactured by Glen Dimplex Home Appliances.

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."

For further information, consumers should contact Glen Dimplex Home Appliances on 0800 110 5728 or via their website here.
