Why are liberals obsessed with controlling everything? They must have a lot of time on their hands. It's not like unemployment isn't over 8% and Iran is trying to build a nuke. Oh. wait a minute...
(The Hill) — Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has called on the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to review whether metal grill brushes are safe for consumer use, after reports that some metal bristles broke off the brush and were swallowed, sending two men to the hospital.
“Metal bristles are one topping no one wants on their burger this holiday season,” Schumer said Tuesday. “Grilling season should be a great time for the whole family, not a time to be worried about an emergency visit to the hospital.”
Schumer said men from New Jersey and Washington State were recently hospitalized after swallowing metal bristles that fell off their grill brushes. He said that reports indicate that similar incidents occurred nearly a dozen times over the last three years.
In a Monday letter to both agencies, Schumer called on both agencies to review the safety of these products, and to consider a product recall if necessary.

What a bright idea. And if Schumer gets grill brushes outlawed, I promise to not go to the hardware store and buy a plain old wire brush. Yeah, right.
I have always used a standard wire brush from the hardware store (or Walmart) to clean my grill. And it's a fair bet (for all we know) that the wire brush from the story came from the hardware store as well. Perhaps Shumer re-purposed a wire brush to brush his hair. That would explain a few things.
