Cosori, which makes some of the most popular air fryers sold on Amazon and other online retailers, has issued a recall of around two million of its air fryers sold in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

The recall, which was issued on February 23, 2023, occurred as a result of "205 reports of the air fryers catching fire, burning, melting, overheating and smoking" due to a wire connection that can overheat inside the unit, according to the U.S. Consumer Product and Safety Commission.
