Summary by Recall Canary from the CPSC notice

What happened

Conair LLC, of Stamford, Connecticut, is recalling Cuisinart metal wire bristle grill brushes because small metal wire bristles can detach from the brushes and stick to the grill or food, posing an ingestion hazard and risk of serious internal injuries that could require surgery. The recall, announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on July 2, 2026, affects about 1,719,995 brushes.

Conair is aware of at least 54 reports and reviews where small wire bristles detached, including three reports of consumers who swallowed metal bristles and sought medical treatment to remove the bristles from their digestive tract or throat.

The brushes have black plastic, stainless steel, and wood handles, and the word "Cuisinart" is stamped on the brush handle. The recalled brushes include several model numbers found on the product packaging. They were sold at Burlington, TJ Maxx and Ross stores and online at Amazon.com and Cuisinart.com from June 2009 through March 2026 for between $8 and $20. The brushes were made in China.

Consumers will be asked to discard the recalled grill brushes. The remedy offered is a refund.
