If your air fryer model is subject to a safety recall, take these immediate steps to protect yourself and ensure resolution:

Verify the Recall Status

Confirm that your specific model and batch number are included in the official recall notice. Locate your model and batch/date codes (usually on the bottom or back of the unit). Cross-check these details against the recall information posted on the manufacturer's official website or reputable government consumer safety agency websites.

Immediate Actions

• STOP USING THE AIR FRYER IMMEDIATELY. Unplug it and do not operate it again, even for parts.
• Do NOT attempt repairs yourself. Tampering can increase risks or void compensation eligibility.

Contact the Manufacturer

Follow the manufacturer's official instructions provided in the recall notice. This is the primary channel for resolution. Actions typically involve:

• Registration: Providing your contact details and unit information via a dedicated recall portal or phone number.
• Return/Refund/Repair Program: The manufacturer will outline the specific remedy (e.g., return for full refund, replacement with a safe model, or repair kit).
• Return Process: Follow their specific instructions for packaging and returning the unit, often with pre-paid shipping labels provided.

Alternative Reporting

If you cannot resolve the issue through the manufacturer or wish to report the problem independently:

• Report to Consumer Safety Agencies: File a report detailing the issue and the recall with your national or regional consumer product safety regulator.

Risks of Using Recalled Units

• Fire Hazard: Overheating leading to smoke or flames is the most common critical risk.
• Burn Hazard: Potential for excessive heat on external surfaces or unexpected release of hot contents.
• Electrical Malfunction: Risk of electric shock or sparking.

Additional Considerations

• Keep Documentation: Retain proof of purchase and communication regarding the recall.
• Warranty Note: Accepting a repair or replacement unit usually does not reset the original warranty period.
