Almost 140,000 Canadians will have to find an alternate way of cooking after one brand of a popular kitchen appliance has been recalled due to potential fire hazard.
On Thursday, Health Canada issued a recall on Insignia Digital Air Fryers, Insignia Analog Air Fryers, and Insignia Digital Air Fryer Oven.
According to the health inspection agency, the products can overheat, posing a potential burn and fire hazard.
The products were sold by Best Buy, eBay, and Amazon between November 2018 and April 2022.
In addition to the recall in Canada, about 634,522 Insignia air fryers were recalled in the US.
As of March 25th, there have been 36 reports of incidents including one report of minor injury in Canada. In the US, the company has identified 68 reports of incidents including one report of minor injury.
“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled air fryers and air fryer ovens, check to see if their model is included in the recall and return the product through the return process of the original place of purchase,” Health Canada said on its website.
All of the recalled products are listed here.
Best Buy has said customers will receive credit at the store if they return the items.
To participate in the recall consumers can register online or call 1-877-650-5411 from 8 am to 5 pm ET, Monday through Friday (except statutory holidays).
