Mr. STEAK Gas Grill Class Action Lawsuit

On December 10, 2019, Bass Pross issued a recall for their MR. STEAK four and five burner gas patio grills. According to the recall (20-038), the gas regulator hose with the attached fuel gauge can melt if it comes in contact with the bottom of the grill’s firebox; this poses a fire hazard.

The recall affects approximately 3,300 units of the gas patio grills in the U.S. The affected gas patio grills include models MS-4B-PG (SKU 2472264) and MS-5B-PG (SKU 2472265). Both affected models have a fuel gauge and fuel line not attached to the inside of the grill. The patio grills are stainless steel (with black trim) and have either four or five back and red dials. The recall also includes SKUs 2366916 and 2366917 only if the consumer added an aftermarket fuel gauge to the regulator assembly. The model number can be found on the back of the grill or on the label inside the left compartment door; the SKU numbers can be found on the receipt of purchase.

The defective patio grills were sold at Bass Pro Shops, APT Appliance & Electronic, and Cabela’s stores as well as online at baspro.com and cabelas.com between May 2018 and July 2019; the grills were sold for approximately $500 and $600 for the four-burner grill and five-burner grill respectively.

According to the recall, Bass Pro has received at least nine reports of grill fires; however, no injuries or property damage have been reported yet. The company is urging affected consumers to stop using the defective grills and contact the company for a free repair kit.

Even though the company has only received a few reports of fires and no reports of injuries or property damage, it is possible that many people have been affected by the defective patio grills. If you or a member of your family suffered any type of harm because of the defective patio grills or if the defective grills resulted in property damage, you might have grounds to pursue a claim.

Specifically, you might have grounds to pursue a claim; after all, the damages that you and your family suffered would have never occurred had Bass Pro not failed to ensure that their products were safe for consumer use.

The Harm Associated with the Defective Patio Grills

The Bass Pro patio grills are defective because the gas regulator hose with the attached fuel gauge can melt after coming in contact with the bottom of the grill’s firebox. This poses a fire risk which can result in significant injuries and property damage. Fires can ravage through entire homes – unsuspecting consumers could lose things with monetary value as well as priceless and irreplaceable personal belongings. The most common injuries associated with fires include burn injuries and smoke inhalation injuries, for example. However, other injuries are possible considering that structure damage caused by the fire could cause structures to collapse and fall on victims.

Fires, unfortunately, are often deadly. It just takes a few moments to suffer devastating burn injuries. Oxygen deprivation due to smoke inhalation can quickly cause unconsciousness and increase the risk of suffering burns; the prolonged lack of oxygen can cause permanent brain damage and can be fatal.

Without a doubt, consumers affected by the recalled patio grill can suffer significant harm/damages. If you and your family were harmed in any way as a direct result of the defective Bass Pro patio grill, you should explore the possibility of taking legal action against the company.

Understanding Product Liability

Based on product liability, all companies owe their consumers a duty of care – a duty to ensure that all their products are safe to be used as intended. This means that companies must take action (such as conducting inspections and tests) to ensure that their products are safe. If any hazards are identified, they must be quickly addressed prior to releasing the products to the public. When companies fail to ensure that their products are safe, they are breaching their duty of care to their consumers. This breach of duty could cause an incident (such as a fire) which could directly cause harm.

Based on product liability, companies could be liable for the harm their consumers suffered given that the breached duty of care directly caused the harm. This means that companies could be liable if product defects present in their products (such as defects in design, labeling or manufacturing) directly caused harm.

If you would like to learn more about product liability and your right to take legal action against Bass Pro (or any other company) for the harm that you or your family suffered, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm at your earliest convenience.

Your Right to Sue and Receive Compensation

Because of product liability, negligent companies could be held accountable for the harm that their consumers suffered due to their defective products. This means that affected consumers and their families could sue the companies that negligently made defective products available for purchase. If you sue and your claim reaches a successful outcome, you could also recover monetary compensation.

Could you really recover compensation? How much could you be eligible to recover? What type of compensation could you be eligible to receive? The type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to recover upon reaching a successful claim outcome could include the following:

• Medical expenses
• Lost earnings
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium
• Funeral and burial costs
• Property damage
• Punitive damages

The type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive will always depend on the specific details surrounding your claim; therefore, it is essential that you discuss the compensation that you could recover with an experienced product liability lawyer at your earliest convenience. When you allow the defective product experts at our firm to handle your claim, you can be certain that our lawyers will do everything within their reach to help you recover the compensation to which you are entitled. Our lawyers are ready to aggressively fight for your right to recover the maximum amount of compensation available for your claim.

What Should You Do?

After being harmed by a defective product, it is essential that you take the necessary actions immediately. Unfortunately, many affected consumers fail to prepare correctly and ultimately diminish the possibility of successfully filing a claim. If you and your family are affected by a defective product, you should do the following:

• Immediately stop using the defective product
• Take photos of the defective product
• Take photos of all physical injuries suffered
• Take photos of all property damage
• Seek medical attention immediately
• Contact the company to report the defect and the harm suffered
  • Do not agree to return the defective product
  • Do not agree to a free repair
  • Do not agree to a refund
• Do not tamper with the defective product in any way (in attempts to repair it yourself)
• Speak to any witnesses that might have been present
• Gather any home surveillance footage that might have captured the incident
• Gather purchase records (receipts, email confirmations, bank statements, etc.)
• Gather medical records
• Seek legal assistance immediately

The most important thing that all consumers should know is that the defective product is the primary piece of evidence for product liability claims. Failing to preserve the defective product as-is could put your entire claim at risk of failure. If you simply do not know what to do next, we recommend that you seek legal assistance immediately. Our lawyers are ready to guide you every step of the way.

Understand the Statute of Limitations

By following the steps listed above, you are essentially gathering the different tools necessary to file a product liability claim. Even if you follow all recommended steps, however, you could lose your right to sue. Specifically, you could lose your right to sue if you fail to file your claim within an appropriate length of time.

All claims, including product liability claims, are subject to a statute of limitations. The statute of limitations establishes the specific time that claimants have to sue. If claims are not filed on time, claimants will lose their right to sue and their right to receive any sort of monetary compensation.

What statute of limitations applies to your product liability? In California, product liability claims are typically subject to a two-year deadline, meaning that claims must be filed within two years to prevent losing the right to sue. However, certain exceptions could apply. If any exceptions apply (based on the details of your claim), the applicable statute of limitations could be tolled.

To ensure that you have a through understanding of the statute of limitations that applies to your claim, you should seek legal assistance immediately. If you fail to do so, you could lose your right to sue as well as your right to recover the compensation that you deserve.

Is there a Class Action Lawsuit?

Can I file a class action lawsuit? How can I join or be a part of a class action lawsuit on this case? If the defective product harmed many parties, then it is likely that there is a class action claim in which you could participate. A class action lawyer can help you figure out how to join the specific class action lawsuit. In some cases, there might be mass torts rather than a class action lawsuit – mass torts are single claims against the same company. For more information about how to proceed with your claim, do not hesitate to contact our recall lawyers as soon as possible.
