Approximately 4.48 million Walmart grill brush recall units have been issued due to concerns that detached metal wires could mix into food and cause serious injury if swallowed by consumers.
According to a recent recall notice released by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the recalled items include 4,477,655 metal wire brushes under Walmart’s private brand, ‘Expert Grill.’
These products are used to remove baked-on food and grease from grills. However, the cleaning process can cause small metal wires to detach and stick to the grill or food.
The CPSC warned that if consumers ingest these with food, they can suffer severe internal organ damage and may require surgery.
No related accidents or injuries have been reported to date.
The recall affects a total of five products, including a 16-inch grill cleaning brush, a handle-type cleaning brush, a 21-inch triple-head cleaning brush, a 17.7-inch long-handle cleaning brush, and a 10-piece grill tool set.
These products were sold at Walmart stores and online via Walmart.com from January 2021 through August 2026 for prices ranging from $1 to $28.
The CPSC advises consumers who own these products to stop using them immediately and contact Walmart for a full refund or credit usable at Walmart stores and online. Consumers must return or dispose of the products according to instructions.
Detailed information is available through Walmart customer service or the official website.
