The product, in the report: Kingsford grill cleaning brush with stainless steel wires
My husband cleaned our grill with a Kingsford grill brush with stainless steel wires. I felt a sharp pain in my throat upon eating a piece of chicken, which did not resolve after several hours and many attempts to dislodge whatever was bothering me. I finally went to the ER where an x-ray was taken. A stainless steel wire from the grill brush (over 1/2 in long) was lodged in the soft tissue of my throat. I had to go into the OR and be put under general anaesthesia to have the foreign body removed immediately. From what the doctor said, they have seen this before and sometimes with much worse results such as a perforated bowel. I consider myself lucky that it happened to me and not to either of my young children and that I did not swallow the wire completely, potentially injuring me worse.
