- Checked: 2026-07-04 20:10 KST
- Source set: CPSC recall notice dated July 2, 2026 and the CPSC recalls index
CPSC recalled about 1,719,995 Cuisinart metal wire grill brushes. The agency says small wire bristles can detach, remain on the grill or stick to food, and create a risk of serious internal injury that can require surgery if swallowed. CPSC says Conair is aware of 54 reports and reviews involving detached bristles and three cases in which consumers swallowed bristles and sought medical treatment.
This clears the daily-life threshold because the product is used right before cooking. Many households brush the grill once and start placing food on it immediately. The useful decision today is whether that brush stays in use for one more cookout or gets removed now.
Who should check now
- Homes that bought a Cuisinart grill brush or grill tool set in recent years
- People who keep the brush in an outdoor kitchen box, garage bin, or car for cookouts
- Households planning grilling this weekend and likely to clean the grate right before cooking
What to change today
- Before using the brush again, check the
Cuisinartmarking and the model number on packaging or order history. - If it matches the recall, remove the wire brush from today's cookout and switch to a non-wire cleaning method.
- If the grill was already brushed, inspect the grate again before placing food on it.
- Do not leave the brush in the outdoor tool box for later. Separate it now and move to the refund path.

CGS-2010,CGS-W13,CGS-5014, orCGS-5020 - If someone already cleaned the grill today, did you recheck the grate before food touches it

Bottom line: The practical check today is not the grill menu. It is whether the wire brush is still part of your cooking setup.
