More Than 300,000 Air Fryers Have Been Recalled Some Were Sold in Indiana and Kentucky
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall for more than 300,000 air fryers that were sold nationwide.
Nationwide Air Fryer Recall
The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that the models impacted by this recall are PowerXL dual basket air fryers sold in black or cinnamon colors. This particular model was sold nationwide at retailers like Target, Walmart, and Kohl's between August 2021 and October 2023.
The reason for the recall is due to the plastic U-Channel connector that optionally combines the two food baskets. They have received dozens of reports of this connector breaking during use, and three reports of burns.
This recall involves two models of the PowerXL dual-basket air fryer. The egg-shaped air fryers have two baskets that can be used separately or optionally combined into one large single basket. The recalled air fryers were sold in black or cinnamon colors. The 10-quart DUAF-10 model is about 17 inches long by 16 inches wide by 12 1/2 inches tall, and weighs about 14 1/2 pounds. The 9-quart DUAF-005 model is about 14 inches long by 13 inches wide by 15 inches tall, and weighs about 14 pounds. The product has a silver label on the front that says “PowerXL”. There is a white label on the bottom of each unit or on the unit’s power cord that lists the model number.
