Summary

Empower Brands is recalling about 319,000 PowerXL dual-basket air fryers, specifically the 10-quart DUAF-10 and 9-quart DUAF-005 models. The internal plastic connector that joins the two food baskets can break during use, which can lead to burn injuries. There have been 41 reports of the product breaking while in use, including three reports where consumers suffered burns. Consumers should stop using the air fryers and contact the company for a full refund.

Risk

The plastic U-Channel connector used to combine the two food baskets can break while the unit is operating. This failure creates a risk of burn injuries to the user, and three such injuries have already been reported to the manufacturer.
