AI Article Synopsis
- BBQ brushes are commonly used tools for cleaning grills but can pose injury risks.
- An analysis of data from a Canadian injury database revealed a low frequency of BBQ brush-related injuries, occurring at 1.5 cases per 100,000 incidents.
- The findings indicate that injuries can occur not only from ingesting loose bristles on food but also through other injury mechanisms.
Article Abstract
A barbecue (BBQ) brush is a common household item designed for cleaning grills used for barbecuing. Data from the electronic Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program database were analysed to estimate the frequency of injuries related to BBQ brushes as a proportion of all injuries, as well as to describe characteristics associated with such injury events. Between April 1, 2011 and July 17, 2017, BBQ brush injuries were observed at a frequency of 1.5 cases per 100 000 eCHIRPP cases (N = 12). Findings suggest that in addition to risks associated with the ingestion of loose BBQ brush bristles attached to foods, loose bristles could also result in injury via other mechanisms.
