Calling all air fryer owners, Cosori is recalling two million air fryers after receiving 205 reports of their popular kitchen appliance catching fire, burning, melting and smoking. The problem stems from a wire connection that is prone to overheating, leading to potential fire and burn hazards.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, urges owners to stop using the product. Cosori's official statement stated:
"After a thorough investigation, we determined that in extremely rare circumstances, the closed-end crimp connectors within the recalled air fryers — which are responsible for establishing electrical connections between certain wires — can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards.”
Retailers including Amazon.com, Best Buy, Home Depot and Target sold over two million Cosori air fryers from June 2018 through December 2022.
