Response within 24 hours
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall of 3.2 million Weber metal wire bristle grill brushes. Small wire bristles can detach, stick to food, and cause serious internal injuries that may require surgery.
Sold at Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, Target, and Amazon from 2011 through 2026, for between $10 and $17.
Metal bristles can detach from the brush, stick to food on the grill, and cause severe injuries when swallowed.
Wire bristles can puncture the esophagus, causing severe infection and requiring emergency surgery to repair.
Bristles can pierce the small or large intestine, causing peritonitis — a life-threatening abdominal infection.
Sharp metal wires can cut throat tissue, tonsils, and the mouth, causing severe pain and bleeding.
Perforated organs can cause internal hemorrhaging requiring immediate surgical intervention.
Ingested wire can cause abscesses and serious infections requiring IV antibiotics and drainage procedures.
Many victims require emergency procedures to locate and remove metal bristles from the digestive tract.

Victims of defective grill brushes may be entitled to recover:
Very likely, yes. Weber recalled 3.2 million brushes because the wire bristles detach and stick to food. Under California law, the manufacturer (Weber) and the seller (Amazon, Home Depot, etc.) are liable for injuries caused by defective products. You don't need to prove it was your fault — the product was defective.
The value depends on the severity of your injuries. Cases involving surgery, hospitalization, or serious internal injuries can be worth $100,000 to $500,000 or more. Factors like medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the need for future treatment all affect the final amount.
You can sue Weber (the manufacturer), Amazon or other stores that sold the product, and potentially the manufacturers in China and Cambodia. Under California's strict liability doctrine, everyone in the chain of distribution can be held responsible.
In California, you generally have 2 years from the date of injury to file a defective product lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may extend or shorten this deadline. It's important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
It costs you nothing. We work on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay absolutely nothing unless we win your case. The initial consultation is completely free and confidential. There is zero financial risk to you.
