Weber is recalling about 3.2 million metal wire grill brushes due to risk of serious internal injuries.
WASHINGTON — Weber-Stephen Products is recalling about 3.2 million metal wire bristle grill brushes after reports that the bristles can detach and pose an ingestion hazard.
The recall, posted Thursday by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, affects metal wire bristle grill brushes with plastic or wood handles measuring between 12 and 21 inches long.
According to the notice, small metal bristles can break off the brush, stick to the grill or food and be swallowed, posing a risk of serious internal injuries that could require surgery.
Weber said it has received at least 38 reports and reviews mentioning bristles detaching from the brushes. Four consumers reported swallowing metal bristles and sought medical treatment to remove them from their throat or digestive tract.
The recall applies to model numbers 6277, 6278, 6463, 6464, 6493 and 6494. The model numbers can be found on the product packaging.
The brushes were sold in stores and online at Lowe’s, Home Depot, Ace Hardware and Target, as well as on Amazon and Weber’s website, from 2011 through 2026. The products were sold for between $10 and $17 and were manufactured in China and Cambodia.
Consumers are urged to immediately stop using the recalled brushes and contact Weber for a replacement cold cleaning nylon bristle grill brush. Customers will be asked to discard the recalled product.
