Latest Gourmia Air Fryer Recall Developments

November 2026

On November 6, 2026, a review of the CPSC recall notice confirmed that approximately 175,951 Gourmia Stainless Steel Digital 9-Slice Air Fryer Ovens were recalled due to an unexpected door-closing hazard. The recall identifies model GTF7530, UPC 810002862779, and production codes 3021 through 0126 [1].

CPSC confirms 57 reports of the oven doors unexpectedly closing while consumers retrieved food, including 40 incidents involving burns to hands or wrists. The official remedy is a free repair kit containing an additional doorstop and installation instructions.

On November 5, 2026, Techlicious published a consumer safety report explaining how to identify the recalled ovens and obtain the repair kit. The publication reported that the kit includes a magnetic doorstop and that consumers do not need to return the affected appliance [2].

Additional November 5 reporting by Daily Voice confirmed the recall announcement, affected model number, Target distribution, and reported injuries. The publication emphasized that consumers may be burned when the spring-loaded doors close unexpectedly while they reach into the oven [3].

The November 6 review reflects the information publicly available following the recall announcement. It does not establish that additional injuries, a recall expansion, or new legal proceedings were announced on that date.

June 2026

According to CPSC, the recalled Gourmia ovens were sold through June 2026, completing a retail distribution period that began in October 2021. The appliances were available exclusively through Target stores nationwide and Target.com for approximately $150.

Consumers who purchased a Gourmia countertop oven during this period should compare their appliance’s model and production codes with the recall notice. The purchase date alone does not establish whether an individual oven is included.

October 2021

CPSC identifies October 2021 as the beginning of retail distribution for the affected ovens. The products remained available for approximately four years and eight months before sales ended in June 2026.

Because the ovens were distributed over several years, consumers may still be using appliances purchased long before the recall announcement. The model and production-code information remains the primary method of identifying an affected unit.

What Is the Gourmia Air Fryer Recall?

The recall involves Gourmia Stainless Steel Digital 9-Slice Air Fryer Ovens imported by The Steelstone Group LLC, doing business as Gourmia, of Brooklyn, New York. These countertop appliances were manufactured in China and distributed exclusively through Target.

The ovens feature stainless steel exteriors and two spring-loaded glass French doors with metal handles. CPSC determined that the doors can unexpectedly close when bumped, potentially contacting consumers while they remove food from the hot appliance.

The recall is intended to address this mechanical door-closing hazard through a repair kit. It does not involve every Gourmia air fryer model or establish an electrical fire defect.

Which Gourmia Air Fryer Ovens Are Recalled?

Consumers can identify affected appliances by examining the model and production information on the rear identification label. The original packaging may also display the model number and UPC.

• Brand: Gourmia
• Product: Stainless Steel Digital 9-Slice Air Fryer Oven
• Model: GTF7530
• UPC: 810002862779
• Production codes: 3021 through 0126
• Appearance: Stainless steel with two glass French doors
• Label location: Back of the oven
• Recall number: 27-069

The recall specifically identifies model GTF7530 with the listed production codes. Consumers who cannot locate the label should contact Gourmia for identification assistance rather than assume their appliance is unaffected.

What’s the Problem With Gourmia Air Fryer Ovens?

The affected ovens contain spring-loaded French doors that can unexpectedly close when bumped. This creates a risk that consumers removing hot food will come into contact with heated glass or metal surfaces.

During normal cooking, an oven’s doors and surrounding components can reach temperatures capable of causing thermal burns. An unexpected door closure reduces the opportunity to avoid contact while reaching into the cooking chamber.

Unlike air fryer recalls involving electrical overheating or combustion, this recall concerns unintended mechanical movement. CPSC does not identify an exploding appliance, defective heating element, or electrical fire as the reason for this action.

How Many Gourmia Air Fryer Injuries Have Been Reported?

Gourmia received 57 reports of doors unexpectedly closing while consumers retrieved food. These reports included 40 incidents involving burns to the hands or wrists, according to the official CPSC recall announcement.

The agency does not provide the medical severity of the reported burns, hospitalization information, or details concerning permanent injuries. It also does not report any deaths associated with this recall.

The incident figures establish documented consumer injuries involving the recalled product. However, the extent of harm and circumstances surrounding each event require individual evaluation.

What Injuries Can Unexpected Oven Door Closures Cause?

Contact with hot oven components can cause thermal burns, particularly when a door closes against someone’s hand or wrist. Injury severity depends on temperature, contact duration, and the affected area of the body.

Potential injuries include:

• First-degree burns involving redness and pain
• Second-degree burns involving blistering and skin damage
• Deeper burns requiring medical treatment
• Burns affecting fingers, hands, wrists, or forearms
• Scarring or restricted movement following severe burns

Some thermal burns heal with limited treatment, while more serious injuries may require specialist care, wound management, or rehabilitation. These are possible medical consequences generally and should not be interpreted as confirmed outcomes for every reported Gourmia injury.

Where Were the Recalled Gourmia Air Fryers Sold?

The recalled ovens were sold exclusively through Target stores nationwide and Target.com between October 2021 and June 2026. CPSC reports an approximate retail price of $150 per appliance.

The extended distribution period means affected ovens may have been purchased several years before the recall. Consumers should verify the appliance’s identification information rather than rely solely on purchase date or retailer records.

What Should Consumers Do With Recalled Gourmia Air Fryers?

CPSC instructs owners to stop using recalled ovens immediately and contact Gourmia for a free repair kit. The kit includes an additional doorstop designed to address the unexpected closing hazard, along with installation instructions.

Owners should not continue using affected ovens simply because they have not previously experienced unexpected door movement. The appliance should remain out of use until the official repair has been completed according to the supplied instructions.

How Can Consumers Obtain the Free Repair Kit?

Gourmia provides recall assistance for owners of affected model GTF7530 ovens. Consumers can request the repair kit using the company’s designated recall website or telephone number.

1. Stop using the recalled oven and allow it to cool.
2. Locate the model and production information on the rear label.
3. Contact Gourmia through its recall website or customer service number.
4. Follow the instructions for requesting the free repair kit.
5. Install the supplied doorstop according to the manufacturer’s instructions before resuming use.

Techlicious reports that owners do not need to return their ovens or provide an original receipt to request the kit. The publication also reports an estimated delivery window of two to four weeks, although individual fulfillment times may vary.

Gourmia Recall Contact Information

• Telephone: 888-834-0092
• Hours: Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Recall website: https://www.gourmia.com/recall.asp
• Company website: https://www.gourmia.com

The official CPSC remedy is a free repair kit rather than a replacement appliance or cash refund. Consumers who suffered injuries may have additional legal questions separate from the repair process.

Could Gourmia or Another Company Be Liable for Burn Injuries?

Product-liability law may allow an injured consumer to seek compensation when evidence establishes that a defective or unreasonably dangerous product caused harm. Depending on applicable state law, potential claims may involve defective design, manufacturing defects, inadequate warnings, negligence, or breach of warranty.

Potentially responsible parties may include manufacturers, importers, distributors, or retailers involved in supplying the product. The availability and requirements of specific claims depend on applicable law and the circumstances of the injury.

A CPSC recall documents a recognized safety concern but does not automatically establish legal liability. Individual claims generally require evidence connecting the alleged product defect to the injury and resulting damages.

Who May Be Affected by the Gourmia Recall?

Consumers who suffered burns involving recalled GTF7530 air fryer ovens may have grounds for individualized legal review. Relevant circumstances include whether the door unexpectedly closed, the appliance’s operating conditions, and the nature of the resulting injury.

Medical records, photographs, purchase documents, and witness statements may help establish what occurred. Legal eligibility depends on the evidence and applicable law rather than ownership of a recalled appliance alone.

Do I Qualify for a Gourmia Air Fryer Recall Lawsuit?

The following questions may help determine whether an incident warrants further legal evaluation:

• Did you purchase or use a Gourmia GTF7530 air fryer oven included in the November 2026 recall?
• Did one or both French doors unexpectedly close while you removed food?
• Did the incident cause burns to your hands, wrists, or another body area?
• Do you have medical records, photographs, purchase information, or other supporting documentation?

Answering yes does not automatically establish eligibility or guarantee compensation. An attorney can evaluate product identification, causation, injuries, damages, potential defendants, and applicable filing deadlines.

What Evidence Should Consumers Preserve?

Documentation may be important when evaluating a product-related injury claim. Consumers should prioritize safety while preserving records relevant to the appliance and incident.

• Photographs of the oven and rear identification label
• Target receipts or online purchase confirmations
• Photographs documenting burns and the incident location
• Medical records, treatment expenses, and follow-up care
• Communications with Gourmia concerning the recall
• Witness statements or other incident documentation

Because the recall involves a repair, consumers considering legal action may wish to document the oven’s condition before installing the doorstop. An attorney can provide guidance about evidence preservation while ensuring the recalled appliance remains out of use.

What Compensation May Be Available?

Potential damages in a qualifying product-liability case may include medical expenses, future treatment costs, lost income, pain and suffering, scarring, and other legally recognized losses. Recoverable damages depend on injury severity, supporting evidence, and applicable state law.

Severe burns may require additional treatment or cause lasting physical limitations. Compensation amounts vary by case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
