Metal grill brushes sent more than 13 million units to recall this year after wire bristles broke free and lodged in people's mouths and throats.

Their product, Grill Rescue, promises to clean grills without the injury risk that has sent consumers to emergency rooms. The invention arrives just as grilling season peaks.
