It's a more common problem than you think. I've seen this on my local news several times.

Anyone have links to alternatives?

I've switched to a wooden scraper that can be purchased at Amazon or a local dollar store. They definitely do not get the grill as clean. Some better alternatives are well over $20.

I'd personally like to see the bristle brushes gone and replaced with a safer products.

    The specific one I'm thinking of I was using in a restaurant kitchen back in the day. I'm having a hell of a time finding something like it in the sea of grill brushes online. I did find this guy which would do the job just fine with no included gastrointestinal surgery. Kind of pricey but just being a metal rod you probably would never need to replace it.

    [Edit] Found the one I was thinking of.
