2026-05-05 – A consumer reported a laceration hazard involving a Nexgrill 530-0039 grill manufactured by NEXGRILL INDUSTRIES INC. The incident, filed with the CPSC SaferProducts.gov database, describes a piece of metal detaching from the grill and being ingested during a meal, causing gum bleeding. No medical attention was required. Product DetailsBrand Name: Nexgrill Incident OverviewAccording to a report filed with the CPSC SaferProducts.gov database on June 10, 2023, a consumer was using a Nexgrill 530-0039 grill. While eating a burger that had been cooked on the grill, the consumer bit down on a piece of metal that had become embedded in the food. The consumer spit out the metal object, but reported that their gum was bleeding as a result. The incident narrative indicates the metal fragment originated from the grill itself, suggesting a manufacturing defect that caused a part to detach during normal use. The consumer did not require first aid or medical attention, as the bleeding stopped and no further treatment was sought. The product had been purchased from Home Depot, and the reporter retained the grill for potential inspection. No prior issues with the grill were mentioned in the report. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: The primary risk is oral laceration from sharp metal fragments. A piece of metal can cut the gums, tongue, cheeks, or throat, causing bleeding and pain. Ingested fragments could also cause internal injuries to the esophagus or digestive tract. Long-Term Risks: If a metal fragment is swallowed rather than spit out, it could lead to gastrointestinal perforation, infection, or obstruction. Even small pieces can cause chronic irritation or require surgical removal. Who Might Be Affected: Anyone using the grill or consuming food cooked on it is at risk. Children and older adults may be more vulnerable due to thinner oral tissues or reduced ability to detect foreign objects. Warning Signs: The hazard is difficult to detect before injury, as the metal fragment may be hidden in food. Consumers should inspect grill surfaces for loose or broken parts before each use. Any rattling or visible damage to the grates or interior could indicate a potential detachment. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: If you own a Nexgrill 530-0039, stop using it until you can inspect it for loose or missing metal parts. Inspect the Grill: Check all grates, burners, and interior surfaces for signs of breakage, sharp edges, or missing pieces. Use a flashlight to look for cracks or detached components. Preserve the Product: Keep the grill in its current condition and store it safely. Do not attempt to repair or discard it, as it may be needed for investigation by the manufacturer or consumer safety agencies. Document the Incident: If you experience a similar issue, take photos of the grill and any fragments, note the date and details of the incident, and keep records of any medical treatment. Report to the CPSC: File a report at SaferProducts.gov to help regulators identify potential defects and initiate recalls if warranted. Check for Recalls: Visit CPSC.gov to see if there are any active recalls for the Nexgrill 530-0039 or similar models.
