  • I don’t think it really matters which models have officially be recalled. No matter how well made that type of brush is, you’re going to have bristles break off eventually. It’s just the nature of that type of tool. I have a couple of friends who are ER nurses, and it seems like every time I see them at a BBQ they’ve got a new story about people accidentally swallowing a metal bristle that broke off one of those. Apparently it happens a lot, so I stopped using them a long time ago. There are so many other safer types of grill brush out there that there really isn’t any reason to. I’ve got one that’s basically a chain mail scrubbing pad on a stick, and another one that’s like a loosely coiled spring that can conform to the shape of my grill and clean the gunk in between the grill slats. If you don’t have anything else, a ball of wadded up aluminum foil does a pretty good job too. The foil does tend to leave a few flakes of aluminum behind, but at least if you accidentally swallow one of those it won’t embed itself in your throat or cut up your digestive tract.
