This recall involves a dual surface electric contact grill sold under the "Hulk Hogan's Ultimate Grill" brand.

Model number PZ-3012 is printed on a silver label attached to the back of the grills.
Reason for recall
Cooking oils or sprays applied to the grill's cooking plates before preheating can cause the oil to ignite and/or flare up. Cooking sprays can ignite and/or flare up if used on the grill at any time.
