OTTAWA — Buyer beware is the message to backyard grillers as Health Canada resists calls to ban wire barbecue brushes. The agency reviewed more than two dozen complaints about detached wires, opting to ask manufacturers to “reduce the risk” of wires coming loose in lieu of a ban. Beverly Smith, an Alberta nurse who suffered a perforated bowel after ingesting a two-centimetre wire, decried the decision. “I won’t use a barbecue brush anymore,” she told CBC News. “I will tell everybody I can not to use them.”
