Latest Secura Air Fryer Recall and Lawsuit Developments
July 2026
- July 31, 2026 – The CPSC recall page continued to identify the Secura air fryer remedy as a $45 Amazon gift card or a replacement product and directed affected consumers to stop using the recalled units. The cited government materials did not identify a Secura-specific class action, MDL, or public settlement [1]
September 2023
- September 28, 2023 – Secura recalled approximately 6,400 air fryers in the United States and 680 in Canada because an internal wire connection can overheat. Secura had received nine reports of the units catching fire, burning, or smoking, with no reported injuries or property damage [1]
Which Secura Air Fryers Were Recalled?
The recall includes Secura model SAF-53D, also identified as TXG-DT16E, with date code 1901. It also includes model SAF-53, identified as TXG-DS16, with date codes 1903 and 1904.
The affected air fryers are black with silver accents, and the Secura brand name appears on top. The model number and four-digit date code are printed on a silver label on the bottom of the unit.
The air fryers measure approximately 12 inches high, 11 inches deep, and 12 inches wide. Consumers should confirm both the model number and date code before submitting a remedy request.
Where and When Were the Air Fryers Sold?
The recalled air fryers were sold through Amazon.com and Secura’s website from May 2019 through October 2020. Prices ranged from approximately $48 to $90.
Secura Inc., located in Lake Forest, California, imported the products. The air fryers were manufactured in China.
What Is the Fire and Burn Hazard?
The CPSC reported that a wire connection inside the air fryer can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards. The recall notice does not provide further details about the precise component failure or sequence that caused the reported incidents.
Secura received nine reports of affected air fryers catching fire, burning, or smoking. No injuries or property damage were reported when the recall was announced.
An actual fire or overheated appliance may expose a nearby consumer to flames, heated surfaces, or smoke. These are potential incident consequences and were not reported injuries in the CPSC recall.
What Should Consumers Do?
Consumers should immediately stop using a recalled Secura air fryer. Secura offers the consumer’s choice of a $45 Amazon gift card or an eligible replacement product listed through the company’s recall process.
To receive the remedy, consumers must provide contact information and submit photographs showing the recalled unit, its date code, and the power cord cut off. A purchase receipt is not required to receive a replacement.
Consumers should unplug the air fryer before following the recall instructions and should not cut the cord while the appliance is connected to electricity. Anyone who cannot safely complete the required steps should contact Secura for guidance.
Reported Risks or Injuries
No injuries or property damage were reported in connection with the recall as of the CPSC announcement. However, fire and overheated appliance components can potentially cause thermal burns or smoke exposure if an incident occurs.
Burn severity depends on factors such as temperature, exposure time, location, and the amount of skin affected. Consumers should seek appropriate medical attention after a significant burn or if they develop concerning symptoms following smoke exposure.
Who May Be Affected?
Consumers who purchased model SAF-53D with date code 1901 or model SAF-53 with date code 1903 or 1904 may be affected. The recall is particularly relevant to owners whose air fryers smoked, burned, overheated, or caught fire.
Owning a recalled air fryer alone does not establish a product-liability claim. A legal review generally requires evidence of an injury, property loss, or another legally compensable harm connected to the product.
Who May Be Liable?
Depending on the facts and applicable state law, an investigation may consider Secura and other entities involved in importing, distributing, or selling the air fryer. The presence of a product in a recall does not, by itself, establish negligence or legal liability.
A potential claim would generally depend on proof that the recalled product caused a fire, burn, smoke-related injury, or property damage. Product identification, incident evidence, medical records, and documentation of financial losses may be important.
Do I Qualify?
- Did you own or use a recalled Secura SAF-53D or SAF-53 air fryer with an affected date code?
- Did the air fryer smoke, burn, overheat, melt, or catch fire?
- Did the incident cause a burn, smoke-related symptoms, property damage, or another documented loss?
- Do you have photographs, purchase records, medical documentation, or communications concerning the incident?
An individual legal review can help determine whether the available facts and documentation support a potential claim.
What Evidence Should I Preserve?
Useful evidence may include photographs or video of the air fryer, the bottom label, model number, date code, power cord, burned components, smoke, soot, and surrounding property damage. Consumers should also retain order confirmations, receipts, warranty documents, recall submissions, and communications with Secura or Amazon.
Medical records, fire-department reports, insurance documents, repair estimates, and receipts for damaged property may also be relevant. Do not reconnect, operate, or dismantle an air fryer that has smoked, overheated, burned, or caught fire.
