Over 300,000 air fryers recalled for burn risk

(CNN) – More than 300,000 air fryers sold at popular retail stores are being recalled.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Empower Brands is recalling two models of the Power XL Dual-Basket Air Fryer.

The agency has received over 40 reports of the food baskets breaking apart during use, including three reports of burns.

According to the alert, the plastic connector that is used to connect the two baskets inside of the units can break during use, and, as a result, pose a burn hazard.

The recall applies to air fryers labeled Power XL Dual-Basket Air Fryer with model numbers DUAF005 and DUAF10.

They come in black or cinnamon colors.

The recalled air fryers were sold at popular retail stores, such as Walmart, Target and Kohl’s between August 2021 through October of this year.

Consumers can receive a full refund by contacting Empower Brands.
