Walmart Recalls Millions of Expert Grill Brushes Over Bristle Detachment Risk

Lima, OH, October 1, 2026 —

Walmart is initiating a recall for approximately 4.5 million Expert Grill metal wire brushes sold across the United States. The recall was issued due to a potential safety hazard involving detached bristles.

The affected products are Expert Grill metal wire brushes, which have been available for purchase nationwide through Walmart stores and online. The primary concern is that metal bristles can detach from the brush head during use. If these bristles become lodged in food or are accidentally ingested, they could cause serious injury to consumers.

The exact number of recalled units is reported to be close to 4.5 million. The company has not specified a particular date range for when these brushes were sold, nor has it provided details on the number of incidents or injuries reported that prompted the recall.

Consumers who have purchased an Expert Grill metal wire brush are advised to immediately stop using the product. Walmart has stated that further instructions regarding returns and potential remedies will be provided. The contractor or manufacturer responsible for the Expert Grill brand was not immediately identified. Information regarding specific models within the Expert Grill line that are included in the recall was not provided in the summary.

Further details on the recall process, including how consumers can identify if their brush is part of the recall and what steps to take, are expected to be released by Walmart. The recall notice highlights the importance of consumer safety and preventing potential harm from product defects.
