Nexgrill Recalls 10.2 Million Wire Grill Brushes Sold at Home Depot

The action underscores a broader CPSC push to remove wire‑bristle grill cleaners linked to painful ingestion injuries.

Overview

  • The CPSC recall covers six Nexgrill wire‑bristle models sold at Home Depot stores and online from 2015 through 2026.
  • Regulators cite at least 68 reports of bristles detaching with five people needing medical treatment after swallowing a wire.
  • Owners are told to stop using the brushes and to request a gift‑card refund through Nexgrill’s recall site, which requires a registration code and a photo of the brush.
  • Doctors warn swallowed bristles can lodge in the throat or intestines and may cause infection or perforation with symptoms that can appear days later.
  • The recall follows a February pullback of 3.2 million Weber brushes, pointing to a wider safety problem with wire‑bristle grill cleaners.
