Using the grill on specified makes and models of Beko, Belling, Flavel, Leisure and New World gas cookers, with the grill door closed, can produce extremely dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, which can cause serious injury or death.

21 cooker models have been identified as being affected but, despite earlier warnings about the dangers and extensive efforts by the manufacturers to contact customers that have bought these cookers, relatively few have been located to date.
