40 burn injuries spur Gourmia recall of air fryer ovens with doors that can close unexpectedly

Nearly 176,000 Gourmia air fryer ovens are being recalled after reports of doors unexpectedly closing as consumers removed hot food, causing at least 40 burn injuries to their hands and wrists.

Here's what to know

On Nov. 5, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled 175,951 Gourmia stainless steel air fryers due to potential burn hazards.

As the CPSC's recall notice explained, "the oven's doors can unexpectedly close when bumped, posing a burn hazard to consumers retrieving hot food," which has already resulted in "40 incidents of burns to consumers' hands or wrists." The company also received 57 reports of accidental door closures.

The recalled product has model number GTF7530, UPC Code 810002862779, and recall number 27-069. These items were sold nationally and at Target.com between October 2021 and June 2026 for around $150.

Both the original packaging and the appliance's rear label will include the model number.

The CPSC's immediate advice for owners is to stop using the recalled ovens. 

Owners with recalled units can contact Gourmia to receive a free repair kit (by mail), which includes a doorstop to prevent the oven door from closing accidentally. The repair kit will also include a guide for installing the doorstop. To reach Gourmia, call 888-834-0092, available Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. 

Additionally, consumers can find more recall information at Gourmia.com, where they can confirm whether their product was included in the recall, request a repair kit, and get installation instructions.
