A common event for a long weekend is a barbecue with family and friends.
It is also a good time to remind people of grill safety, says Andy Hulan, Product Safety Officer at Health Canada.
Hulan says one of the main concerns with grills is using wire cleaning brushes.
He says over time the brushes lose their bristles, and if swallowed, can cause serious health problems.
He recommends checking out alternative cleaning measures, such as a bamboo scraper.
