    Damn, I think I have one of those models. I did stop using the bristle side years ago but sometimes use the spring side to wipe Grease.

    Unfortunately bristles are very effective and each make conflicting safety claims

      They make claims, but my impression is that every bristle brush will start shedding as it ages.

      You need a cleaning device with a non-bristle mesh to get rid of the risk

          Yes, but the bristles tend to end with shed bits that puncture peoples digestive systems. Meshes don’t seem to do that
