Best Buy is recalling more than 700,000 air fryers after reports that the units were “catching on fire, burning or melting,” according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The recall includes 772,000 Insignia air fryers and convection ovens in the United States and Canada. Consumers with affected models have been instructed to immediately stop using the products and return them to Best Buy for a refund or credit, the commission said in a press release.
Best Buy did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment on the recall.
According to the CPSC, Best Buy received 68 reports from consumers in the United States and 36 in Canada related to Insignia’s digital and analog air fryers, as well as its digital air fryer.
The cases include “seven reports of minor property damage and two reports of injuries, including an injury to a child’s leg,” the CPSC reported.
The affected products were sold in stores and online – on the Best Buy website, eBay and Google – from November 2018 to February 2022.
“Best Buy is directly contacting all known buyers to arrange returns and provide prepaid shipping boxes and labels and return instructions,” the commission said in a press release.
