Years after their first huge wave of popularity, millions of air fryer units have now been recalled due to several design and manufacturing defects. Many people have been injured in the meantime, and some have moved forward with taking legal action against the manufacturers. Consumers have reported burn injuries, home fires, overheating, appliance melting, and other hazardous malfunctions.
Like many other kitchen appliances in American homes, there are many safety risks associated with air fryers. Consumers have reported that the materials on their appliances are cheap and break or melt easily. Others have said their machines have caused electrical fires in the kitchen. Excessive smoke, melting plastic, leaking hot food, and creating excessive heat are other common complaints. The more serious threats can be the possibility of third-degree burns, house fires, and explosions.
Air fryers may even catch fire due to overheating if they are made without an automatic shut-off mechanism. Sometimes the product instructions may be unclear or incomplete, leading to confusion amongst consumers.

Air Fryer Recalls
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regularly reviews whether a product poses a “substantial product hazard,” and the agency makes their recall decisions based on the following:
- Type of defect—design defects, construction and packaging flaws, and inadequate warnings or incomplete instructions may lead to a product recall.
- Volume of injury reports—one serious safety report can lead to a recall, but generally it takes dozens before the agency considers action.
- Severity of risk—the CPSC takes into account the seriousness of the safety risk to consumers. If a death is linked to a product, the agency is almost certain to recall the product, but if there is one burn injury, for example, the product may remain on the market.

- Fire risk
- Laceration Risk

A consumer product can be deemed defective if the manufacturer provides an inadequate warning or instructions for safe use. This may be the case if a manufacturer knew or should have known about a risk. In the case of a recalled air fryer, some plaintiffs have argued that the companies that produced the products should have known about a burn injury or fire risk existed.
