What happened
Health Canada recalled specific Char-Broil Bistro Pro electric grills that include charcoal mode because the heating-element ground wire may separate and drop fault protection, creating a shock hazard. The authority notes zero incident or injury reports in Canada through August 26, 2026, and zero reports in the United States. The action applies to the named electric-plus-charcoal grill units identified in the alert.
Why it matters to your store
Independent specialty shops that still hold these grills face compliance and safety exposure if units remain on the floor or in stockrooms. Stop-sale, quarantine, and supplier-return steps protect customers and reduce liability while freeing working capital tied to unsellable inventory.
Signal to watch
This week verify open orders and on-hand SKUs against the recalled Char-Broil grill listing, then quarantine matches and contact the supplier for return or refund paths.
