Secura Air Fryer Recall Lawsuit Investigation

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled about 6,400 Secura air fryers in the United States and about 680 units in Canada on September 28, 2023. A wire connection can overheat, creating a fire or burn risk. The recall covers Secura model SAF-53D with date code 1901 and model SAF-53 with date codes 1903 and 1904. Secura sold the units at thesecura.com and Amazon.com from May 2019 to October 2020 for $48 to $90. The recall remains open on both cpsc.gov and Health Canada’s site, and consumers should stop using an affected air fryer right away and contact Secura for a remedy.

Latest Secura Air Fryer Recall Updates

May 22, 2026: Health Canada Publishes Its Own Recall Notice

Health Canada published its own recall notice on May 22, 2026 for the about 680 Secura Air Fryers sold in Canada, model SAF-53 (TXG-DS16) bearing date code 1903 or 1904 [1]. The notice named the manufacturer, Tianxi Holding Group Co. Ltd. of China. No incidents were reported in Canada as of May 14, 2026, and Canadian consumers receive a $60 CAD gift card, per Secura’s recall website [2].

September 28, 2023: CPSC Announces Recall

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) opened recall number 23-794 on September 28, 2023, covering roughly 6,400 of the air fryers in the U.S. and some 680 more sold in Canada [3]. A wire connection inside the units can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards. Secura began offering affected owners the recall remedy the same day.

Which Secura Air Fryers Are Affected?

The recall covers two Secura air fryer models, identified by the model number and four-digit date code on a silver label on the bottom of each unit:

• Model SAF-53D, also stamped TXG-DT16E, with the four-digit date code 1901 printed on the bottom label
• Model SAF-53, also stamped TXG-DS16, with date codes 1903 or 1904 printed on the bottom label

Both models are black with silver accents and measure about 12 inches high, 11 inches deep, and 12 inches wide. The affected models were manufactured in China and imported into the United States by Secura Inc. of Lake Forest, California, the company handling the recall remedy.

Why Were the Secura Air Fryers Recalled?

Secura recalled the SAF-53D and SAF-53 air fryers because a wire connection inside the appliance can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers. The CPSC’s recall notice does not describe the exact component failure or sequence that caused the overheating beyond identifying the wire connection. Both recalled models, the SAF-53D and SAF-53, share the same internal wire connection, so the hazard applies to either unit equally. The CPSC opened the matter as recall number 23-794 and classified it as a fire and burn hazard. Health Canada’s separate May 2026 notice confirmed the same wire-connection hazard applied to the Canadian units it covers, matching the CPSC’s own description of the defect.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

Secura told the CPSC it had received nine reports of the recalled air fryers catching fire, burning, or smoking as of the September 28, 2023 recall announcement. The company reported no injuries and no property damage connected to those incidents. Health Canada’s May 22, 2026 notice covers the roughly 680 units sold in Canada, with none reported there. These figures reflect reports made directly to Secura, the CPSC, and Health Canada, including through the CPSC’s SaferProducts.gov portal. They may not capture every incident, and a report alone is not proof that a particular unit caused a fire, burn, or injury.

What Should Consumers Do?

Consumers who currently own or previously purchased an affected Secura air fryer should take the following steps to complete the recall:

1. Stop using the recalled air fryer immediately and unplug it from the wall outlet.
2. Find the model number and date code stamped on the silver label under the unit.
3. Cut the power cord and photograph the unit, showing the cut cord and the date code clearly.
4. Visit thesecura.com/recall, call Secura toll-free at 888-792-2360 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday), or email customercare@thesecura.com to request the recall remedy.
5. Choose between a $45 Amazon.com gift card or a free replacement product. No receipt is required in the United States.
6. Report any fire, burn, or smoke incident involving the air fryer to the CPSC through SaferProducts.gov.

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

Health Canada’s May 22, 2026 recall notice for the Canadian units, described above, is a separate regulatory action from the CPSC’s 2023 recall. The Canada Consumer Product Safety Act also prohibits reselling, redistributing, or giving away a recalled air fryer in Canada until the recall process is complete.

Legal Options

No class action, multidistrict litigation, or public settlement against Secura over this recall has been identified in court and litigation-tracking searches. A product recall alone does not automatically establish that a company is liable or that a consumer is eligible for compensation. Consumers whose Secura air fryer caused a fire, burn, or property damage may want an individual legal review. Owning a recalled unit alone does not establish a claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Know If My Secura Air Fryer Is Part of the Recall?

Check the model number and date code on the bottom label against Secura’s recall list to confirm whether your air fryer is part of the recall. A matching model with any other date code is not affected, and Secura reports no defects in those units.

Was the Secura Air Fryer Recall Also Issued in Canada?

Yes, Health Canada posted its own recall notice for the Secura air fryers sold there, separate from the CPSC’s action. Health Canada also lists the recall on the OECD Global Portal on Product Recalls, where consumers can check comparable international recall actions.

Is There a Secura Air Fryer Recall Lawsuit or Class Action?

No, there is no class action lawsuit against Secura for the air fryer recall as of September 2026. Litigation-tracking and court-docket searches found no Secura-specific class action, multidistrict litigation, or settlement. Some law firms are reviewing individual fire, burn, or property-damage claims instead.

Do I Need a Receipt to Get the Secura Air Fryer Recall Remedy?

No, Secura does not require a receipt for the Secura air fryer recall remedy in the United States. Canadian consumers must provide valid proof of purchase to complete their recall request, per Health Canada’s notice.

Will Secura Contact Me Directly About This Recall?

Secura says it is contacting all known purchasers of the recalled air fryers directly. Consumers who have not heard from the company should still visit its recall website or call its toll-free number to start the remedy process themselves.

What Kind of Replacement Product Will I Receive Instead of the Recalled Air Fryer?

The replacement product you receive is not another Secura air fryer, since no replacement air fryers are available under this recall. Secura instead ships a different product from a list on its recall website. Canadian consumers instead get a $60 CAD Amazon.ca gift card.
