The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) has advised consumers to cease using certain Tower air fryer models due to a dangerous manufacturing defect that may cause overheating. Nearly 60,000 of these units have been sold in Ireland, although no incidents have been reported there. Customers are urged to verify if their model matches the recalled items, which were made between 2020 and 2024. Affected consumers should immediately unplug the device and contact Tower Housewares for further guidance.
This recall covers five Tower air fryer models with a dangerous manufacturing defect that could cause the models to overheat, said Grainne Griffin, the director of communication at the CCPC.
Almost 60,000 affected units have been sold in Ireland so it's vital that consumers who have a Tower air fryer check their model. If their model is affected, it is not safe to use.
Consumers who have one of the affected air fryers, which were manufactured between 2020 and 2024, should stop using the product immediately, unplug it and contact Tower Housewares.
Although no incidents have been reported in Ireland to date, there have been reports in the UK of these products catching fire, the organisation said.
