Gourmia air fryers sold by Target recalled after users suffer burns from malfunctioning doors

Air fryers imported by a Brooklyn company and sold by Target stores are the subject of a nationwide recall after dozens of users reported being burned by malfunctioning oven doors, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced.

The recall notice posted last week involves the Gourmia 9-Slice Digital Air Fryer Oven Model GTF7530 with UPC Code 810002862779.

According to the safety commission notice, the recalled ovens are "stainless steel and have two spring-loaded glass front French doors with metal handles" and can be identified with both the model and UPC codes on the packaging. The model number and codes 3021 to 0126 can be found on a label on the back of the unit as well, the safety commission recall notice said.

Neither Gourmia nor Target immediately responded to emailed inquiries seeking comment Monday.

In a posted notice on its website under Recall Information the company said: "Gourmia, in cooperation with the U.S. Product Safety Commission, is voluntarily recalling the GTF7530 Air Fryer Oven and providing a free repair kit. The doors can unexpectedly close when bumped, posing a burn hazard when retrieving hot food."

The safety commission said Gourmia has received at least 57 reports of the oven doors "closing unexpectedly when retrieving food," resulting in at least 40 reported incidents of users suffering burns to "hands or wrists." The commission is advising consumers to stop using the air fryer ovens "immediately" and to contact Gourmia for a free repair kit by mail.

On its website Gourmia said the repair kit includes a new magnetic doorstop with installation instructions and said it will be sent to consumers "at no cost."

The commission said more than 175,000 units were sold by Target nationwide between October 2021 and June 2026. The ovens were manufactured in China and imported by The Steelstone Group LLC, doing business as the Brooklyn-based Gourmia, and sold for about $150 each, the commission said.

For more information consumers can contact Gourmia at 888-834-0092 Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. or online at gourmia.com/recall.asp. Consumers also can visit Gourmia.com and click on the Recall Information link at the top of the page.
