More than 4.4 Million Grill Brushes Sold at Walmart Recalled over Ingestion Hazard
The recall covers about 4.48 million brushes, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission said the bristles can detach and cause serious internal injuries.
Walmart is recalling nearly 4.5 million Expert Grill metal wire bristle brushes due to a potential ingestion hazard; detached bristles can cause serious internal injuries requiring surgery.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, small metal wire bristles can detach from the brushes and stick to grills or food, creating an ingestion risk.
Five Expert Grill models were sold at Walmart stores and online from January 2021 through August 2026, priced between $1 and $28.
Customers must immediately stop using the recalled brushes and either return them to Walmart or discard them to receive a full refund.
Walmart can be reached toll-free at 800-925-6278 from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or customers can visit Walmart.com for refund processing.
