Two million Cosori air fryers have been recalled due to fire and burn hazards, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety and Commission said in a news release Thursday.
About 250,000 air fryers in Canada and 21,000 air fryers in Mexico were also recalled.
According to the CPSC announcement and an official Cosori recall website, a cable connection in air fryers can overheat, potentially causing fire and burn hazards.
Cosori has received 205 reports of its air fryers “catching on fire, burning, melting, overheating and smoking,” including “10 reports of minor, superficial burns and 23 reports of minor property damage,” according to the CPSC.

Several models of Cosori hot air fryers have been recalled.
Both CPSC and Cosori have advised consumers affected by the recall to stop using the recalled products immediately and contact Cosori for a free replacement or another Cosori product.
“All of our products are rigorously and routinely tested for consumer safety and fully conform to established industry standards,” Cosori said on its official recall website. “COSORI is committed to the safety of those who use and love our products and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.”
The air fryers, priced between $70 and $130, were sold at retailers nationwide from June 2018 to December 2022.
The recalled units were sold at brick-and-mortar retailers including Best Buy, Target, and The Home Depot, and online retailers including Amazon, Bed Bath and Beyond, Homegoods, Kohl’s, Lowe’s, Macy’s, QVC, and Walmart, among others.
