About 2 million Cosori brand air fryers were recalled after reports of them catching fire, melting, overheating or smoking, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
A total of 205 incidents have been reported, including 10 cases of people with superficial burns and 23 instances of minor property damage.
The recalled units’ component responsible for establishing electrical connections between specific wires has the potential to overheat, according to the manufacturer.
The recalled products were sold from June 2018 through December 2022 at Best Buy, Target and Home Depot stores and online at Amazon, Adorama, Bed Bath & Beyond, Cosori, eBay, HomeGoods, Kohl’s, Lowe’s, Macy’s, QVC, Staples, Vesync, Walmart, Wayfair, Wellbots and Woot. They cost $70 to $130.
The air fryers were sold in 3.7- and 5.8-quart sizes in black, gray, white, blue or red. The affected model numbers are printed on the bottom label of each unit and on the accompanying user manual. They are: CP158-AF, CP158-AF-R19, CP158-AF-RXW, CP158-AF-RXR, CAF-P581-BUSR, CAF-P581-AUSR, CAF-P581-RUSR, CP137-AF, CP137-AF-RXB, CP137-AF-RXR, CP137-AF-RXW, CS158-AF, CS158-AF-RXB, CS158-AF-R19, CAF-P581S-BUSR, CAF-P581S-RUSR, CAF-P581S-AUSR, CO137-AF, CO158-AF, CO158-AF-RXB, CP258-AF.
Those who purchased a recalled air fryer are advised to stop using it immediately, even if they have not experienced any issues with it. To return the product, visit Cosori’s recall page and complete the recall registration form.
Those who have additional questions or need further assistance can reach Cosari at 888-216-5974, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.
“The health and safety of COSORI users is our highest priority; we are taking this action out of an abundance of caution,” the company said in a statement. “All of our products are rigorously and routinely tested for consumer safety and are in full compliance with established industry standards.”
