Memorial Day is coming sooner than you think—and that means now is the ideal time to take stock of all your grilling tools. As you do, there’s one important safety alert to keep in mind: a major grill brush recall. Here's everything you , and what to do if you have one in your toolkit.
What is being recalled?
In late March, Nexgrill announced a voluntary recall of more than 10.2 million metal wire bristle grill brushes sold at The Home Depot, both in stores and online, between 2015 and 2026.
The recalled model numbers include:
Model No. 530-0024: UPC 044376285234 (sold November 2015–April 2021)
Model No. 530-0024G: UPC 044376297374 (sold November 2022–February 2026)
Model No. 530-0034: UPC 044376285364 (sold November 2015–February 2025)
Model No. 530-0039: UPC 044376285418 (sold November 2015–February 2026)
Model No. 530-0041: UPC 044376285432 (sold November 2015–February 2026)
Model No. 530-0042: UPC 044376285449 (sold November 2015–August 2019)
The grill brushes can be identified by having a metal wire bristle brush attached to either a black plastic or a bamboo wood handle, according to the company’s recall notice.
“If the product does not have a Nexgrill logo on the plastic handle or stamped on the back of the bamboo handle, it is not a Nexgrill grill brush,” the company notes. “Only the specific Nexgrill model numbers listed above are included in this recall.”
Why are these grill brushes being recalled?
According to Nexgrill, the small metal wire bristles can detach from the brushes," stick to the grill or food, posing an ingestion hazard and risk of serious internal injuries that could require surgery."

This is very similar to a recent Weber grill brush recall, which also recalled its brushes due to the small metal bristles detaching from its product.
What should I do if I have this grill brush at home?
If you own a Nextgrill brush included in the recall, stop using it immediately.
To receive a refund, however, do not throw it right away. It's critical to follow a few steps before you dispose of it.
Nexgrill is offering a full refund in the form of a gift card for owners of the brush, with values between $5 to $15, depending on the brush model you own. To get this refund, owners must register their information at nexgrill.mktpoint.com/recall. Registrants must fill out their information, including name and address, and must upload an image of the grill brush they own, along with specific information requested by the company.
"As part of the registration process, you will be directed to write specific information in a photo with your recalled grill brush itself before taking a photograph of the brush and uploading it to our registration page," the company shared. "Disposing of your brush before you follow these steps will mean that your claim will not be successful."
Once you register your product, you can expect to receive the gift card via email within 7 to 14 business days. See more about the recall and the process to register here.
