The units were sold in black and brown colors between August of 2021 and October of 2023 in retailers including Target, Walmart and Kohl's.

A popular cooking appliance is being pulled from shelves.

Empower Brands placed a recall on its PowerXL DUAF-10 and DUAF-005 Vortex Dual-Basket Air Fryers.

Around 319,000 units are covered after posing a burn hazard, as the plastic connector used to connect its two food baskets can break during use. There have been 41 reports of the products breaking, including three burn cases.

The units were sold in black and brown colors between August of 2021 and October of 2023 in retailers including Target, Walmart and Kohl’s.

Consumers should stop use of the air fryers immediately and contact Empower Brands for a full refund.
