What You Should Know About Infrared Air Fryer Recalls

Air fryers have revolutionized home cooking, making it easier to enjoy crispy, fried-style foods with less oil. However, not all air fryers are safe. Some models, like the PowerXL Infrared Air Fryer Grill, have been recalled due to serious safety issues, including overheating, fire hazards, and injuries caused by malfunctioning devices.

At KBA Attorneys, we are committed to helping consumers stay informed and protecting those harmed by defective products. If you or someone you know has been injured by a recalled air fryer, it’s important to understand your rights and legal options.

Recall Details: Why Some Air Fryers Are Dangerous

Many air fryer recalls have been linked to serious defects that put users at risk, including the following

• Overheating and Fire Risks: Some recalled air fryers overheat or catch fire, leading to burn injuries, smoke damage, and home fires.
• Malfunctioning Devices Causing Injuries: Reports show that some air fryers have exploded, overheated, or caused electrical shocks, leading to burns, cuts, and other injuries.
•  Refunds or Replacements: If you own a recalled air fryer, you may be eligible for a refund or a replacement from the manufacturer. Always check the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website to confirm whether your device is affected.

Protecting Your Rights After an Injury

If a defective air fryer has caused you harm, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Here’s what you should do:

Stop Using the Device Immediately:  If you suspect that your PowerXL Infrared Air Fryer Grill or any other air fryer is defective or unsafe, the first and most important step is to stop using it immediately. Continuing to use a faulty appliance puts you and your household at serious risk of injury or property damage. Overheating, electrical malfunctions, and fire hazards are common issues with recalled air fryers. Ignoring warning signs can lead to dangerous consequences.

Document Your Injuries: If a defective air fryer has caused burns, electrical shock, or any other injuries, your health and safety should be your top priority. Burns and injuries from malfunctioning kitchen appliances can be severe. Even minor burns can become infected or leave long-term scars. Taking the right steps immediately can protect both your health and your legal rights if you decide to seek compensation for your injuries. You should seek medical attention immediately and take pictures of your injuries as well as the defective air fryer.

Report the Issue: If you experience a dangerous malfunction with an air fryer that has a recall, and it has caused you injury, it’s crucial to report the issue to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and notify the manufacturer. The CPSC is responsible for tracking hazardous products, issuing recalls, and ensuring manufacturers take corrective actions to protect consumers. By filing a safety complaint, you help prevent further injuries, increase public awareness, and push for stronger safety measures.
