Brits are being warned over popular air fryers with models costing up to £115 recalled.
Two million Cosori air fryers are being recalled after their wire connections caused hundreds of them to overheat and catch fire.
The air fryers, which were sold in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, are a fire risk, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The company has received 205 reports of air fryers catching fire, burning, melting, overheating or smoking.
There have been 10 reports of minor burns and 23 reports of minor property damage, the agency said.
The CPSC announced the recall on Thursday with the agency warning consumers that they should stop using the air fryers immediately.
MailOnline has found two of the recalled models were available on the UK Amazon site.
The air fryer with model number CP158-AF is on amazon.co.uk for £114.51. Cosori’s model number CO137-AF is also on the UK site for £98.98. Both models appear to have been available to buy since 20 July 2022.
