United States
Cuisinart metal wire-bristle grill brushes made in China — including many models such as CCB-100, FCB-501, CGWM-024 and others — are recalled; “Cuisinart” is stamped on the handle of the identified models except FCB-501 and CCB-395. Small metal bristles can detach and stick to the grill or food, posing an ingestion hazard and risk of serious internal injury; consumers should stop using the brushes immediately and contact Conair for a full refund or a credit at Cuisinart.com (refund plus 20% of the cash refund) and will be asked to discard the recalled brushes.
