Best Buy recalls air fryers due to fire, burn and cut risks
Check your air fryers. Best Buy is recalling close to 290,000 Insignia Air Fryers and Insignia Air Fryer Ovens sold in-store and online rom November 2021 through November 2023.
This recall is for the following models:
- NS-AF34D2

- NS-AF5DSS2
- NS-AF8DBD2
- NS-AF10DBK2
- NS-AF10DSS2
The units’ cooking chambers range from about 3.4 to 10 quarts.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said the air fryers can over heat, causing the handles to melt or break. It can also cause the glass door to shatter, potentially burning or cutting the user and start a fire.
Best Buy said it got 24 reports of overheating, melting or shattering glass, including six reports of the air fryers catching on fire. So far, no one has reported any injuries or property damage.
