Full list of air fryers recalled as owners told to stop use immediately
Air fryers have become increasingly popular in Ireland, with many households investing in them as a way to eat healthier while cutting down on energy costs. By using rapid hot air circulation to cook food, air fryers drastically reduce the need for oil, helping to lower calorie intake and saturated fat consumption compared to traditional frying methods. Beyond their health benefits, air fryers also promise to be more economical than using an oven. Many Irish homes are struggling with the ongoing cost of living crisis, and air fryers can cook food faster, which means reduced energy consumption and lower electricity bills. But despite their growing presence in Irish kitchens, some air fryers have been flagged as a serious safety risk. In recent months, several major recalls have been issued due to fire hazards. Owners of certain models are now being urged to stop using them immediately. Tower Vortx 8L Dual Basket Air Fryer Earlier this month, RKW Ltd issued an urgent recall of the Tower Vortx 8L Dual Basket Air Fryer after it was discovered that a manufacturing defect could cause the device to overheat and catch fire during use. Tower 8 Litre Vortx Dual Basket Air Fryer More than 5,300 of the affected air fryers were sold in Lidl stores across Ireland in 2024. Brand: Tower Model: T17129L Batch numbers: PO264626, PO264638, PO264628, PO264634, PO264632, PO264630, PO271391, PO271397, PO271395, PO271399, PO271393, PO271401 The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) has urged consumers to unplug the appliance immediately and check the batch and model number against the label on the unit. Instructions for checking your model and batch number are available on the Tower Housewares Recall webpage here. If your air fryer is affected, contact towerproduct@ for further support. Tower 2.2L Manual Air Fryer, Tower 4L Manual Air Fryer, Tower 4L Digital Air Fryer and Tower 2L Compact Manual Air Fryer Earlier this year, several other Tower-branded models were pulled from shelves due to similar fire risks. An estimated 55,000 units were sold in Ireland between 2020 and 2024 through major retailers including Argos, Dealz, Tesco, Lidl, Amazon and the Tower Housewares website. The affected models are: T17023 Tower 2.2L Manual Air Fryer T17061BLK Tower 4L Manual Air Fryer T17067 Tower 4L Digital Air Fryer T17087 Tower 2L Compact Manual Air Fryer The CCPC warned that these models may overheat and ignite due to a manufacturing defect and echoed the same advice: "It is important that consumers should stop using the affected products immediately, unplug them and contact Tower Housewares."

To do this, see the steps on the Tower Housewares Recall webpage here. Anyone who purchased theirs via Amazon can also contact the retailer directly through their account to explore available remedies. Haden 11L Stackable Air Fryer In June, a separate recall was issued for the Haden 11L Stackable Air Fryer, which was sold to around 52 customers at The Range stores. SKU number: 387933 Batch: All batches affected According to the CCPC, when used for extended periods at the highest temperature setting, the heating element can cause the plastic casing to warp or melt, posing a burn injury and fire hazard. The Range recalls the Haden 11L Stackable Air Fryer (Image: CCPC) Owners are advised to stop using the product immediately and return it to any The Range store for a full refund.

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A recall has been issued for a staggering 60,000 air fryers in Ireland after it was discovered that there is a manufacturing defect associated with the product that could result in a fire risk. The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) issued a warning this morning for any consumers who own certain models of Tower air fryers to stop using them immediately. Almost 60,000 affected models were sold in retailers across the Republic of Ireland. The problem with the product is that there is a manufacturing defect that could cause the air fryer to overheat, possibly resulting in fires and risking injury or death. Thankfully, no such incidents have been reported in Ireland yet but there have been reports of the same products catching fire in the United Kingdom. The five affected models of air fryers are as follows: T17023 Tower 2.2Ltr Manual Air Fryer T17061BLK Tower 4Ltr Manual Air Fryer T17067 Tower 4Ltr Digital Air Fryer T17087 Tower 2Ltr Compact Manual Air Fryer T17129L Vortx 8L Dual Basket Air Fryer To find the model number of your air fryer, unplug the product and check the appliance rating label which can be found at the bottom of the appliance. This number will begin with the letter T. If you have one of the above models in your kitchen, unplug it and stop using it immediately. Affected consumers are advised to contact Tower Housewares, which can be done on the website or by emailing towerproduct@ The implicated air fryers were manufactured between 2020 and 2024 and were sold in various retailers including Argos, Tesco Ireland, DID, Dealz, Lidl, Amazon, as well as the Tower Housewares website. Other retailers may also be included. Grainne Griffin, director of communications at the CCPC said: "This recall covers five Tower air fryer models with a dangerous manufacturing defect that could cause the models to overheat. "Almost 60,000 affected units have been sold in Ireland so it's vital that consumers who have a Tower air fryer check their model. If their model is affected, it is not safe to use."
