A recall has been issued on nearly two million Cosori air fryers after reports of hundreds claimed the product
overheated and caught fire.
On Thursday, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) urged consumers to immediately stop using the recalled Cosori air fryers. Atekcity Corporation, of Anaheim, Calif., is the importer, according to federal safety regulators.
Reports state that a wire connection in the air fryers can overheat, catching fire, burning, melting, overheating and smoking posing fire and burn hazards. Approximately 2 million units have been sold in the United States, with an additional 250,000 were sold in Canada and 21,000 were sold in Mexico.
