Massive Recall Issued for Nexgrill Wire Brushes

On Tuesday, March 31, 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a significant recall affecting approximately 10.2 million Nexgrill metal wire grill brushes. The recall was initiated due to reports that small metal bristles can break off during use and contaminate food.

The Health Risks of Loose Bristles

The primary concern is that loose bristles may remain on the grill surface or adhere to food. If accidentally swallowed, these sharp metal pieces can cause painful injuries to the mouth, throat, or digestive tract.

To date, there have been five documented cases where individuals swallowed bristles, necessitating medical intervention to remove the foreign objects. Anyone who suspects they have ingested a metal bristle is advised to seek medical attention immediately.

Identifying the Affected Products

The recall involves Nexgrill brushes featuring wood handles, ranging from 18 to 21 inches in length. Specific model numbers associated with the recall include 530-0024G and 530-0041. Owners are urged to stop using these brushes immediately.
