    The product, in the report: Weber wire brush model 6495 is made the same way as the recalled Weber brushes like model 6493. It is a Y shape and is used to clean between the grates. However, it has the same potential to leave metal wire behind when cleaning.

    Weber has a recall on their wire brushes. However, one of those brushes, Model 6495, is designed to clean between the grill grates. However, this brush is made with the same process as 6493 and 6494, which are part of the recall. I believe since the 6495 model brush was not as popular as the others, it has been left off the recall but could still be dangerous.

    While eating a hamburger grilled on a home grill I found a wire bristle in my mouth. We had cleaned the grill prior to cooking with a Weber grill brush. The brush had been recently purchased at a local hardware store. Upon closer examination of the brush we discovered another wire that became easily dislodged with a gentle tug.
