Aldi warns: danger to life through false grill flyers!

The barbecue season has started and numerous supermarkets and discounters offer a variety of meat products. But at Aldi Nord there is currently a serious security error that could have dangerous consequences for potential buyers. In a flyer for the campaign week of May 28, 2025, a BBQ gas pizza oven was incorrectly identified as suitable for indoor use, which, according to Aldi Nord, is a clear error. The discounter has now corrected: the gas pizza oven can only be used outdoors.

The misleading information could be particularly dangerous because gas -powered devices release carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon monoxide is a color and odorless gas that arises when incomplete. This property increases the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, which can occur without warning signs.

life -threatening error

Aldi apologized for the false pressure of the flyer and pointed out the customers to ignore the faulty flyer. In a security note on the product warning platform.eu, the discounter pointed out that the use of the BBQ pizza oven in closed rooms can be life -threatening. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headaches, dizziness, nausea and even consciousness disorders.

The exit of carbon monoxide can be fatal, especially in closed rooms. The dangers of explosive gas also increase through possible leaks of hoses and connections. The TÜV and other experts urgently warn against using such devices in internal areas and recommend that safety precautions such as ignition protection and flame monitoring to be observed.

important safety instructions

Customers who have the BBQ gas pizza oven should observe the following safety rules:

• only use outdoors
• at least 50 cm distance to combustible materials
• Gas intake after using
• Regular control of seals, hoses and connections
• No use in closed or poorly ventilated rooms
• balconies or terraces with dense roof are unsuitable without sufficient air circulation

The dangers of carbon monoxide should not be underestimated. From 2000 to 2009 there were an average of 374 annual accident deaths in Germany from co-poisoning. Even if statistics such as the 2015 patient with 648 patients with CO poisoning indicate a falling number of cases, the number of unreported cases is high, since many symptoms are often not recognized correctly.

The Situation around the BBQ gas pizza oven from Aldi Nord is a serious reminder for caution: security should always be a priority, especially in the barbecue season. Customers are asked to contact Aldi customer service or specialist companies in the event of uncertainties.
