A Toronto-area mother is demanding that wire-bristled barbecue brushes be banned, after a bite of a burger landed her six-year-old son in the hospital with a tiny wire from their barbecue brush lodged inside him. It was just another summer night for the Fiore family, who decided to have burgers on the grill for supper. Anthony Fiore took the first bite of his burger and immediately had a bizarre reaction. On Wednesday, CBC News reported on a Halifax woman who had a bristle lodged so far down her throat that surgeons couldn't reach it. An initial x-ray on Anthony showed a tiny bristle from the brush lodged inside his throat.
