If you keep a wire-bristle Cuisinart brush by the grill, stop using it before your next cookout — a detached bristle can end up in your food, and Conair is offering a refund or a store credit worth 20% more.
What Is Being Recalled?
Conair LLC has recalled about 1.72 million Cuisinart metal wire bristle grill brushes because the wire bristles can detach from the brush head. A loose bristle can stick to the grill grate or to food and, if swallowed, cause an ingestion hazard and a risk of serious internal injury that may require surgery. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on July 2, 2026.Conair says it is aware of at least 54 reports of bristles detaching from the brushes, including three reports of consumers who swallowed a bristle and sought medical treatment to have it removed. The remedy is a choice of a full refund or a larger credit at Cuisinart.com, and consumers should stop using the brushes right away.
Which Brushes Are Affected?
The recall covers Cuisinart metal wire bristle grill brushes with black plastic, stainless steel, and wood handles. The included model numbers are:• CCB-100

You will be asked to discard the recalled brush after you submit your claim. A sales receipt is not required. If you have already found a loose bristle stuck to your grill or in food, inspect the food carefully before eating and seek medical attention if you believe a bristle was swallowed.As a general grilling-safety tip, many cooks are switching away from wire-bristle brushes to bristle-free grill cleaning tools to avoid this kind of hazard entirely.
