Atekcity has recalled over 2 million COSORI Air Fryers due to a risk of fire and burn hazards. The recall affects several models of the air fryers sold in the United States and Canada. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the fryer's heating element can overheat, which can cause the appliance to ignite or lead to burns from hot oil or metal parts.
The company has received over 100 reports of incidents related to the recalled air fryers, including fires, smoke, and burns. At least one person suffered from burns due to the issue.
Consumers who own the affected air fryers are advised to stop using them immediately and contact Atekcity for a free replacement. The company has also provided instructions on its website on how to identify whether a particular air fryer is included in the recall.
As air fryers continue to grow in popularity as a healthier alternative to traditional frying methods, it is important for consumers to be aware of any potential safety hazards associated with these appliances. The recall serves as a reminder to always follow proper usage and safety guidelines when operating any kitchen appliance.
