With the air fryer getting all the hype for its convenience, it's likely that you have one in your home. You should go ahead and check the exact brand and model to make sure that it's not among the recalled Cosori Air Fryers that have been recalled.
Cosori Air Fryer Recall
Certain air fryer models of the Cosorui brand are being recalled due to issues with overheating. Over two million air fryers may get way too hot which can cause overheating, melting, or even catching fire, which could cause injuries.
The company is cooperating with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) with the recalls, as well as Health Canada and Mexico Procuraduría Federal del Consumidor. Cosori is voluntarily recalling and replacing the affected models.
The CPSC has already received 205 reports of the affected products overheating led to melting, and a few cases where it caught fire. 10 incidents resulted in superficial burn injuries, and 23 claimed that the issue caused minor property damage.
As mentioned in Gizmodo, there are around two million Cosori air fryers sold in the US, 250,000 in Canada, and around 21,000 in Mexico. While the company aims to resolve the issue, they are not issuing refunds. Instead, they will be providing replacements for faulty electronics.

Recall Process
If you have a Cosori air fryer and it is among the recalled models listed above, you should stop using it immediately to avoid further incidents. Instead, fill out the recall registration form to request a free replacement product.
To determine if you have an affected product, check the model number and batch number on your air fryer. You can find the model number at the bottom of the air fryer on the manufacturer's label. The batch number could be at the bottom edge or the left of the sticker label.
You will not need your receipt in order to qualify for the recall, given that you purchased an affected product. However, you have to upload photos of the product as well as one with the cord cut off to receive a replacement.
If you don't want another air fryer, you can choose from other Cosori products, although it will depend on the model of your air fryer. You will still qualify for the recall even if your product's warranty has already expired.
Even if your product is no longer working on has already been used, you may still register for a replacement. You won't have to pay shipping fees when the replacement Cosori product is shipped to you.
You can check your recall registration status anytime after registering. If you received a replacement and it does not work, you can call the company's support hotline at 888-216-5974 from Monday to Friday, but do so between 8 AM to 5 PM EST.
After registration, Cosori will review your submission within five business days. Once it is approved, you will have to wait for another six to eight weeks for your replacement to arrive, depending on the replacement product's availability.
