The product, in the report: Item #0098162 Model#BG179A Master Forge grill
I own a Master Forge grill Mod# BG179A sold by Lowe’s. While Eating a hamburger cooked on this grill I bit into a piece of metal! After examining the grill grates I discovered they were de-laminating, the metal shards ranged in size from very small to very large. If these shards were to be ingested it could pose a serious health issue. Your attention in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, [REDACTED]
PS. I can provide pictures or some actual shards if requested.
