We are just getting over a scary emergency room visit where my son had something lodged in his throat while having a family BBQ. An emergency room visit identified the foreign object. It was the wire from the brush to clean the grill. He had to have surgery to have it removed. After arriving home I searched on the internet for similar stories and found it to be quite common with very frightening stories. DO NOT CLEAN YOUR GRILL WITH WIRE BRUSHES. He is now OK and recuperating.

WOW! I hope your son feels better really soon. That is very scary.

What a shame! I'm so happy that it is working out. And thanks for posting the warning.

that is scary, glad he is okay, thanks for letting us know so hopefully will warn others to be careful

So sorry your son suffered this injury. Thankful that he is recovering!

I'm glad your son is doing ok. Thank you for the warning.

Wow! Glad to hear he is doing better...

(OOPS...) doubled up! Wow! Glad to hear he is doing better...

Wow, this is the second time (this month) I've heard about this. DH just threw out our brush.

That is just awful, thanks for the warning and I so hope your son gets well soon.
