According to Underwriters Laboratories (UL) more than 86,000,000 households, or 75% of U.S. households, light up their grills every year as they prepare over 3,000,000,000 meals. With Memorial Day right around the corner, one of the most popular grilling weekends of the year, many families will host backyard cookouts to celebrate.
While nothing beats a grilled meal, every year outdoor grilling accidents cause 19,000 Emergency Room visits and 7,900 home fires. This is the reason UL, a leading product safety organization, is sharing simple, yet critical, grilling safety temps that families need to know and use.
