Quantum North America Inc., of Encino, Calif.; e4L Inc., of Encino, Calif.

## Retailer(s)

Quantum and e4L sold these grills directly to consumers through television infomercials, from about May 1998 through January 1999, for about $160.

## Description

These red metal gas grills have a tripod stand. They have a logo on the label of the lid and grill base showing a devil cooking at a grill with the writing, "Red Devil." CPSC sued e4L Inc. and Quantum North America Inc. to obtain a recall, and an administrative law judge granted CPSC a default judgment when these manufacturers failed to appear. The firms are liquidating their assets under bankruptcy law.
