The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission posted the voluntary Nexgrill recall on March 26, 2026 as recall number 26‑339, listing Nexgrill Industries of Chino, California as the importer and noting the brushes were manufactured in China. (cpsc.gov) Six specific model numbers are included: 530‑0024, 530‑0024G, 530‑0034, 530‑0039, 530‑0041 and 530‑0042, with affected brushes measuring about 18–21 inches and featuring black plastic or wood handles; distribution dates range from 2015 through 2026 (530‑0042 distributed 2015–2021). (cpsc.gov) Nexgrill’s remedy is a full refund issued as a gift card; consumers must register online, receive a registration code, then upload a photograph of the brush with that code and their initials to complete the refund process, and Nexgrill’s recall page and the CPSC notice list the company’s recall site and a toll‑free contact at 800‑942‑1498 for assistance. (cpsc.gov) The CPSC report notes at least 68 consumer reports of detached bristles and five reports where consumers swallowed metal bristles and sought medical treatment to have them removed from the throat or digestive tract. (cpsc.gov) The recalled brushes were sold at Home Depot stores and homedepot.com from 2015 through 2026 for about $5 to $15, and Home Depot added the Nexgrill recall entry to its official “Products Recalled from The Home Depot” list on March 26, 2026 while referencing the CPSC hotline 1‑800‑638‑2772 for additional information. (cpsc.gov) Store operational notes in the public recall guidance include keeping affected model numbers handy for identification, directing customers to register on Nexgrill’s recall site for the gift‑card refund, and using the CPSC recall number (26‑339) and the CPSC/Home Depot recall pages for escalation or to verify returned units.
