The product, in the report: grill scrubb brush: a flat brush with metallic bristles and a handle, used to clean debris off a grill before cooking outdoors
Tonight for sunday night dinner we cooked burgers.
My 5 year old found a piece of metral bristle in her burger. We consider ourselves lucky since the bristle is probably small enough not to be noticed while chewing it with the burger’s bread and lettuce but could also find itself in the stomach and create a performation.
Prior to putting the burgers on the grill, we cleaned our grill with a brush made by Brinkmann. The name of the product is “Grill Scrub Brush”. It appears that the bristle in question broke loose from the brush while we were cleaning the grill surface. When my wife put the burgers on the grill, the bristle lodged into the meat, which eventually ended up on my daughter’s plate. We consider ourselves very lucky that the sharp bristle did not end up being swallowed by her. Upon closer examination, the bristle in question was found to be brittle and could have easily broken in half. It appeared to be sharp enough, if swallowed, to potentially perforate the stomach or intestines.
The brush in question was bought last year and still looks functional, but we will definitely discard it and use a new one. It seems consumers need to be made aware of the potential danger of this brush.
