Millions of Expert Grill Brushes Recalled Over Detached Bristle Hazard
More than 4.4 million Expert Grill-branded grill brushes sold at Walmart and Walmart.com have been recalled due to an ingestion hazard caused by detached metal wire bristles.
Tucson, AZ, October 1, 2026 —
A significant recall has been issued for millions of Expert Grill-branded grill brushes, affecting consumers nationwide. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall for over 4.4 million units sold through Walmart and Walmart.com. The hazard stems from the potential for metal wire bristles to detach from the brush heads.
Consumers may unknowingly ingest or sustain injuries from these loose bristles, posing a serious safety risk. The brushes, which are designed for cleaning grill grates, can shed their wire bristles during use. These detached bristles can then adhere to food or become lodged in the grill, leading to potential ingestion or internal injuries if consumed.
The recall covers Expert Grill-branded grill brushes sold in various models and colors. The exact number of units affected by the recall is stated as more than 4.4 million.
Consumers who have purchased these grill brushes are strongly advised to stop using them immediately. The CPSC recommends thoroughly inspecting the grill brush before each use. If any bristles are found to be loose or missing, the brush should not be used.
The company has not provided details regarding the specific dates of manufacture or the exact period these brushes were sold, other than their availability through Walmart and Walmart.com. The full scope of the recall and specific instructions for consumers regarding disposal or potential remedies are being coordinated.
According to the CPSC, there have been reports associated with this hazard, though the specific number of incidents or injuries has not been detailed in the recall announcement.
Customers are urged to check the CPSC website for the most current information and guidance on this recall. Information regarding a remedy or replacement for the recalled products is expected to be released by the company.
