The product, in the report: Grill brush
The consumer purchased a grill brush that is approximately 15” long and the bristles are coming off of the brush. The consumer stated that he used it to clean the grill. As he was eating his hamburgers the consumer felt something sharp in the back of his throat, as he started to swallow he felt somthing sharp in his front teeth. After he swallowed the hamburger his wife noticed blood in his mouth and lips, he rinsed his mouth and pulled a piece of shart wire from between his teelth. He was having pain on the back of his throat and he was gargling salt water to treat it. He examined the grill and the steel brush he used to clean the grill, the wire bristles were all in disarray. He believes he ingested a piece of the bristles. The consumer did not see a doctor, but he will be scheduling a visit. The consumer did not contact the retailer, but he plans to contact them to request a refund. He realized that he had to notify somone about this dangerous brush with loose bristles. He called MD consumer Protection and was told they had received complaints from two doctors who had treated with bristles in their mouths. He was told to contact CPSC When I purchased brush and tool to lift grill from Bed, Bath and Beyond they were loose in a basket-type box with no warning attached, when I went back to store and inspected brushes he found them to have dangerous warning on them. He feels that it is a safety hazard that could lead to choking.
