Tower Air Fryer Recall: Urgent Safety Warning – 6 Models Affected

Urgent Air Fryer Recall: Tower Models Pulled From Shelves Due to Fire Risk

Consumers are being warned to immediately stop using six models of Tower air fryers due to a potential fire hazard. The recall, issued by Tower Air Fryers and the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS), affects appliances manufactured between January 2022 and April 2023 and sold at major retailers across the UK and Ireland.

What is the Issue?

The OPSS stated that the affected air fryers “present a risk of fire as it can overheat and ignite during use” and do not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016. The Mirror and Daily Record both reported on the urgent safety concerns.

Which Models Are Affected?

The following Tower air fryer models are subject to the recall:

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 Tower Vortx 8L Air Fryer
T17129 Tower Vortx 8L Air Fryer

These models were sold at Argos, B&M Bargains, DID, Poundland, Robert Dyas, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, and the Tower Housewares website, as well as through online retailers. Irish Mirror reports that the recall also affects appliances purchased in Ireland.

What Should Consumers Do?

Owners of affected models are urged to stop using the air fryer immediately and unplug it. To determine if your appliance is part of the recall, you will need to access the model number on the rating label, typically located at the bottom of the air fryer.

Customers are then directed to the Tower Housewares webpage at https://www.tower-safety.co.uk to register their product for a refund or replacement. The process requires uploading a photo of the rating label and providing contact information.
