- Wire grill brushes are commonly used for cleaning grill grates. Accidental ingestion of a wire bristle from a grill‐cleaning brush is a rarely reported foreign body, with only three prior case reports. Although scarce in the literature, we encountered two pediatric cases at the regional children's hospital within 1 year. By presenting these two cases, our goal was to raise awareness of this potentially hazardous foreign body. Additionally, we raise a consumer safety issue associated with the use of wire grill‐cleaning brushes as there are currently no ingestion hazard warnings on these products. Laryngoscope,, 2011
