The recall affected Insignia models bought between November 2021 and November 2023. This wasn’t the first time Best Buy pulled Insignia air fryers from shelves. In April 2022, it recalled nearly 700,000 units.” CPSC did not report any injuries. Contact us if one of these or another model injured you. This is only one of the models:

Burin Injuries Can Cause Permanent Damages
Even less than third degree burns can cause long-term injuries. Skin discoloration and scarring are examples. A burn injury attorney must understand the type of burn and how to litigate them.
More serious burns can damage never cells and cause desensitization. They can require painful surgeries and procedures like skin grafts or involving the use of lasers. There are some new treatments available. See an example here, https://kbaattorneys.com/blog/latest-developments-in-treatment-of-burn-injuries/
