Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, October 1, 2026 — Walmart has initiated a recall of over 4.4 million Expert Grill brushes, citing a safety hazard related to detaching wire bristles. The affected products were sold at Walmart stores nationwide and through the company’s e-commerce platform, Walmart.com.

The recall, announced recently, addresses concerns that wire bristles from the grill brushes can loosen and detach from the metal or plastic head. These detached bristles can then become embedded in food, posing a significant ingestion risk to consumers. The company stated that the ingestion of these wire bristles could lead to serious internal injuries, including cuts and perforations to the mouth, throat, and digestive system.

The specific quantity of brushes being recalled is reported to be over 4.4 million units. Customers who have purchased an Expert Grill brush are advised to immediately stop using the product. While the recall notice does not specify a particular model or manufacture date, the hazard is associated with the design and construction of the brushes, where bristles may not be adequately secured.

Consumers are encouraged to check their grill cleaning tools and, if they possess an affected Expert Grill brush, to cease its use. Walmart has not detailed specific instructions regarding return or refund processes in the initial announcement. The company is working to address the safety concerns and mitigate potential harm to consumers.

Further information regarding the recall, including specific product identifiers and consumer remediation steps, is expected to be released by Walmart and the relevant consumer safety agencies. The recall underscores the importance of regularly inspecting grilling accessories for wear and tear to prevent potential food contamination and safety incidents.
