Berkshire Innovations is recalling about 990 Brod & Taylor Sahara Folding Food Dehydrators (Model DR-710) because the internal heater fan can fail, causing components to overheat. The firm has received 15 reports of these dehydrators overheating, though no injuries or property damage have been reported. The recalled units are black, feature seven shelves and two front glass doors, and fold to one-third of their size for storage. They were sold at Harmony Farm Supply & Nursery and through major online retailers like Amazon and Williams-Sonoma between July 2022 and March 2023.
The heater fan can fail during operation, which causes the dehydrator's internal components to overheat and poses a fire hazard. There have been 15 reports of units overheating to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Sahara Folding Food Dehydrators, remove the polyester air filter and contact Berkshire Innovations for a free repair. The repair is replacing the air filter with a non-flammable metal screen air filter. The air filter is designed for easy toolless access by consumers.
Units feature production code CCAE on the back panel.
