The kitchen brand Tower has voluntarily issued a major recall for four of its popular air fryer models due to a “manufacturing defect.” If you own one of these affected models, it is essential to stop using it immediately.

How to Check if Your Model is Affected
The Tower website provides a step-by-step guide to help you determine if your air fryer is affected. The guide will ask for the following information:
* The appliance rating label on your air fryer
* A photo of your air fryer
* Your email address
* Your telephone number
This information will be used to verify your ownership and provide you with further guidance.
The Reason Behind the Recall
The affected models have been discovered to pose a potential safety risk due to a “manufacturing defect.” Under certain circumstances, the air fryers may overheat, leading to a potential “risk of fire.” Although the risk of fire has been deemed “low” by Trading Standards, the manufacturer has chosen to issue the recall as a precautionary measure.
The Safety Precautions
If you own one of the affected air fryers, it is essential to take the following precautions:
* Unplug the air fryer from the power supply to prevent any potential hazards
* Cease using the air fryer immediately
* Do not attempt to repair the air fryer yourself
The safety and well-being of Tower’s customers remains the company’s top priority.
