Snapper, Inc., of McDonough, Ga.
Class II - Moderate
The walk-behind lawn mowers' side discharge deflector, which is sold as an accessory for these models, is defective.

Red Devil Gas Grills
Quantum North America Inc., of Encino, Calif.
Class II - Moderate
The product's design allows consumers to light the grill at an air intake tube, instead of at the burner. Though the grill appears to function normally, gas inside the air intake tube ignites. The tube can reach temperatures of up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit and present a burn hazard to consumers. In some earlier grills, the heat produced by lighting the grill at the air intake tube damaged the plastic support piece, and caused the grill to fall to the ground. When it collapses, flames from the grill can burn nearby consumers and ignite surrounding combustibles.
