2 Million Cosori Air Fryers Recalled

by Rockland Daily Staff

More than two million Cosori air fryers sold at major retailers nationwide and online have been recalled after posing potential hazards due to overheating.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the Cosori air fryers after 205 complaints of fire and burn hazards. The issue is being blamed on a wire connection in the air fryer, which can cause the unit to overheat, creating a possibly dangerous situation for consumers.

Reports of the air fryer catching fire, burning, melting, overheating, and smoking include ten reports of superficial burns and 23 reports of minor property damage.

The recall involves Cosori air fryers with these model numbers:

CP158-AF;

CP158-AF-R19;

CP158-AF-RXW;

CP158-AF-RXR;

CP258-AF.

The brand name Corosi is on the front of each unit, and the model number is printed on the bottom label of each air fryer and on the user manual that came with the product.

Recalled air fryers came in 3.7-quart and 5.8-quart sizes and were sold in black, gray, white, blue, and red models at all major retailers between June 2018 and December 2022. The cost per unit was between $70 and $130.

“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled air fryers and contact Cosori to receive their choice of a free replacement air fryer or another Cosori product by registering (on the company’s website), officials said.

“During registration, consumers must provide their contact information and submit photos of the recalled unit with the cord cut off,” according to CPSC. “No receipt is needed to receive a replacement.”
