What’s happened recently

A comprehensive media review summarized the scale across Insignia, Cosori, and related brands.[4][8]

How to check if your air fryer is recalled

• Identify the exact brand and model number printed on the unit or in the user manual.
• Compare with recall notices on official sites (U.S. CPSC, Health Canada) or the retailer’s recall page where the unit was purchased.
• If your model is listed, stop using it and follow the manufacturer or retailer’s instructions for refund, replacement, or disposal.

What to do if yours is recalled

• Do not use a recalled unit that’s identified in the recall.
• Contact the manufacturer or retailer for instructions on refunds, replacements, or disposal.
• If you can’t find a model in recall lists, preserve the unit until you confirm status and consider unplugging and keeping it away from children and pets.

Illustrative example

• A Power XL Dual Basket recall advised customers to cease use immediately and contact Empower Brands for a full refund; stores like Target removed affected models from shelves.[2][1]
