Conair Expands Recall of Cuisinart Grill Brushes Over Bristle Detachment Risk
Conair has expanded its recall of Cuisinart grill brushes due to reports of metal bristles breaking off, posing an ingestion risk and potential for injuries.
Orlando Daytona Beach Melbourne, FL, August 28, 2026 —
Conair Corporation has expanded its ongoing recall of certain Cuisinart brand grill brushes. The expanded recall is being issued due to continued reports that metal bristles can break off from the brush head and remain on grill grates. These detached bristles can then become adhered to food and subsequently ingested by consumers, posing a potential health risk.
The risk associated with the detached bristles includes the possibility of ingestion, which could lead to lacerations or puncture injuries to the mouth, tongue, throat, or stomach. Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the affected grill brushes and to inspect their grills for any loose bristles.
The company previously announced recalls of these products. The expansion of the recall indicates that the issue may be more widespread or that previously recalled units might still be in circulation, or that new products were identified as affected. Specific details regarding the exact number of brushes affected by the expanded recall or the timeframe of the original recall were not provided.
Conair has stated that consumers should not use the grill brushes. The company has not provided information on a specific procedure for consumers to confirm if their brush is part of the recall, nor have they detailed the process for obtaining a refund or replacement for affected products, other than advising consumers to stop using them. Information regarding the specific models or purchase dates of the brushes included in this expanded recall was not made readily available in the summary provided.
Consumers who have purchased a Cuisinart grill brush are encouraged to exercise caution and to thoroughly inspect their grilling equipment. Information regarding the steps to take, such as whether to return the product or seek a refund, was not specified in the provided summary.
