Forty Burns Later, a Popular Target Air Fryer Is Off the Market
Forty people burned their hands or wrists on a Gourmia air fryer oven sold at Target. The cause: spring-loaded glass French doors that swing shut on their own when bumped, burning anyone reaching in for hot food.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on Thursday, November 5, 2026 (recall number 27-069). This recall covers the Gourmia Stainless Steel 9-Slice Digital Air Fryer Oven, model GTF7530. Before regulators acted, Gourmia had already received 57 reports of doors closing unexpectedly. Forty of those incidents resulted in burns to hands or wrists.
The Appliance: Who Made It and Where It Was Sold
The GTF7530, with UPC 810002862779, was sold exclusively at Target stores nationwide and on Target.com from October 2021 through June 2026 at approximately $150. About 175,951 units moved in that five-year window. The oven was made in China and imported by The Steelstone Group LLC, doing business as Gourmia, based in Brooklyn, New York.
Is Your Unit Included?
Check the label on the back of the oven for a date code. Units with date codes from 3021 through 0126 fall under this recall.
Why the Doors Are Dangerous
The GTF7530 uses spring-loaded glass French doors. When the oven is in use and someone bumps it, those doors can close without warning. Anyone reaching in to retrieve hot food at that moment is at risk of a burn to the hand or wrist. The CPSC confirmed 40 such burn injuries across the 57 reported incidents.
Stop Using It and Request a Free Repair Kit
The CPSC and Gourmia say to stop using the oven immediately. Gourmia is mailing a free magnetic doorstop kit with installation instructions to anyone who requests one. Delivery takes two to four weeks.
To request a kit, call Gourmia at 888-834-0092, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., or visit gourmia.com/recall.asp.
