Tom, you should publicize this to customers who have switched or are
thinking of switching to cheap imported grill brushes. They can seriously
harm customers. One emergency room saw six cases in 18 months

Makes you want to chew your burger very well before swallowing.

All good restaurants have strict protocols to prevent food from getting
contaminated with wire from brushes. Even the best brushes wear and shed
wire but imports shed much worse. Home grillers need to be aware of this
issue and take precautions but most people have no clue and there are no
warnings on consumer brushes.

I have brushed the grills of Weber kettle barbecues countless times, and
have never once seen a fragment of wire adhere to the grill following
brushing.
