Secura has recalled about 6,400 Secura® Air Fryers that can catch on fire and cause severe burn injuries or property damage.
The problem is that a defective wire connection in the air fryer can overheat, according to the recall notice.
No injuries were reported, but there were 9 reports of the air fryers catching on fire, burning and smoking.
Secura is asking consumers to immediately stop using these two models of air fryers: Model Number SAF-53D (TXG-DT16E) with date code 1901, and Model Number SAF-53 (TXG-DS16) with date codes 1903 and 1904.
