3.6 Million Cuisinart Grill Brushes Recalled Over Serious Ingestion Hazard
Conair says 54 reports include three ingestions that required medical care, and it is offering refunds or website credit with a 20% bonus.
On August 27, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced an expansion of the Cuisinart metal wire bristle grill brush recall, bringing the total to more than 3.6 million units.
Wire bristles can detach and stick to grill grates or food, creating an ingestion hazard that may cause serious internal injuries requiring surgery, the CPSC warns.
Conair has documented at least 54 reports of bristle detachment, including three incidents where customers required medical intervention to extract metal pieces from their digestive tracts.
Owners should immediately stop using and discard these brushes; Conair offers a full cash refund or Cuisinart website credit with a 20 percent bonus.
Earlier this year, Nexgrill and Weber recalled about 10.2 million and around 3.2 million similar utensils respectively, reflecting broader industry concerns about metal bristle safety.
