Important Recall For Weber Grill Brushes: What You Need To Know

With warmer weather finally arriving in North Dakota and grilling season just around the corner, Weber has issued an important safety warning for barbecue enthusiasts. The company is recalling over 3.2 million metal wire bristle grill brushes after discovering a serious ingestion hazard.

According to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the recall affects four different Weber models: 6277, 6278, 6463, and 6464. These brushes, commonly used to clean grills, can pose a hidden danger. Small metal wire bristles may detach from the brush and stick to the grill or food. If ingested, these bristles can cause severe internal injuries, sometimes requiring surgery.

Weber urges anyone who owns one of the affected brushes to stop using it immediately. Consumers are advised to replace the recalled brushes to ensure safe grilling. The recall, announced on February 26, 2026, covers approximately 3.2 million units sold across the U.S.

This recall highlights the importance of carefully inspecting grill cleaning tools. While metal wire bristle brushes are popular for their cleaning efficiency, they can wear down over time, increasing the risk of bristle detachment. Alternatives like bristle-free grill brushes or grill stones may offer safer options for those looking to keep their barbecues spotless without risking injury.
