Air fryer brand recalls over 300,000 units for potential burn hazard

(CNN)– More than 300 thousand air fryers sold at popular retail stores are being recalled.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Empower Brands is recalling two models of the Power XL dual basket air fryer.

The agency has received more than 40 reports of the food baskets breaking apart during use, including three reports of burns.

According to the alert, the plastic connector that’s used to connect the two baskets inside the units can break during use and as a result pose a burn hazard.
