10 Million Grill Brushes Recalled Over Concerns About Loose Bristles Being Ingested

A federal agency has announced a recall of 10 million grill brushes following reports that at least five customers required medical attention to remove loose bristles from their digestive tract or throat, with the manufacturer urging consumers to stop using the potentially hazardous products immediately. The recall affects a significant number of grill brushes that have been distributed across the United States, though the specific manufacturer and models were not immediately detailed in the announcement. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) emphasized that the bristles can detach during use and accidentally be ingested, potentially causing serious internal injuries. The agency has urged consumers to check if their grill brush is part of the recall and to contact the manufacturer for a replacement or refund. This safety alert comes as outdoor grilling season approaches in many parts of the country, when the use of such tools becomes more frequent, highlighting the importance of regular safety checks for frequently used household items.
