Idioma
Between February and March 2026, Nexgrill and Weber issued recalls for more than 13 million metal wire bristle grill brushes after reports that small metal bristles can detach, stick to grill grates or food, and be ingested, causing serious internal injuries that may require surgery. This is a serious public safety hazard, particularly for children and vulnerable adults.
About the Recalls
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Anunciado a voluntary recall of Nexgrill and Weber metal wire bristle grill brushes.
The Weber brushes were sold nationwide from 2011 through 2026. The recalled brushes were available at major retailers, including Lowe’s, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, and Target, as well as online at Amazon and Weber.com, and were priced between $10 and $17.
The Nexgrill brushes were sold in stores at Home Depot and online at homedepot.com from 2015 through 2026 for between about $5 and $15.
The following model numbers are included in the Weber recall (found on the product packaging):
- Model 6277
- Model 6278
- Model 6463
- Model 6464
- Model 6493
- Model 6494
Weber is aware of at least 38 reports of wire bristles detaching from these brushes, including at least four confirmed cases in which consumers swallowed metal bristles and required medical treatment to have them removed from their digestive tract or throat.
The following model numbers are included in the Nexgrill recall (found on the product packaging):
- 530-0024
- 530-0024G
- 530-0034
- 530-0039
- 530-0041
- 530-0042
Nexgrill is aware of at least 68 reports and reviews where small wire bristles detached from the grill brushes, including five reports of consumers who swallowed metal bristles and sought medical treatment to remove the bristles from their digestive tract or throat.
Why This Defect Is So Dangerous
Wire bristle injuries from grill brushes have been a documented public health concern for years. A dislodged bristle is virtually invisible to the naked eye, especially once it adheres to food on the grill. When swallowed, these tiny metal fragments can pierce the tongue, throat, esophagus, stomach lining, or intestines, causing internal lacerations, infections, and, in serious cases, requiring emergency surgery.
Children are particularly vulnerable. A bristle that detaches during grilling can find its way onto virtually any food, and a child may not be able to describe what they swallowed or where they feel pain, delaying critical medical care.
What Should You Do Right Now?
If you own any of the recalled Nexgrill or Weber grill brushes, take these steps immediately:
- Stop using the brush immediately and remove it from your home.
- Contact Weber for a free replacement nylon bristle grill brush by calling 877-597-9588 (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. ET) or visiting weberbrushrecall.expertinquiry.com.
- Contact Nexgrill for a full refund to be issued as a gift card. Consumers will be provided with a registration code as part of the recall process and will be directed to upload a photograph of their grill brush with that code and their initials to the recall website to register for the recall. After receiving a confirmation email that their registration has been successfully processed, consumers will then receive directions on how to dispose of the recalled grill brush.
- Seek immediate medical attention if you or a family member may have ingested a metal bristle. Symptoms can include throat pain, difficulty swallowing, abdominal pain, or rectal bleeding.
- Keep the recalled brush and all packaging; do not throw it away if you are considering legal action.
Your Legal Rights
If you or a family member has been injured by a Nexgrill or Weber grill brush bristle, you may be entitled to compensation. Companies like Nexgrill and Weber have an obligation to design and manufacture products that are safe for consumer use. When they fail, and especially when they sell a product with a known defect for years before issuing a recall, they can and should be held accountable.
