Clearwater, FL (November 10th, 2026) – Gourmia has recalled approximately 175,951 air fryer ovens after receiving 57 reports of the appliances’ doors unexpectedly closing, resulting in 40 reported burn injuries. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on November 5, 2026, affecting ovens sold at Target stores nationwide and online.

The recalled ovens have spring-loaded glass doors that can close when bumped, potentially burning someone’s hands or wrists while they remove hot food. Florida consumers who own an affected oven should stop using it immediately and contact Gourmia for a free repair kit.

• The company received 57 reports of doors closing unexpectedly, including 40 reported burn injuries.
• The recall affects model GTF7530, sold at Target from October 2021 through June 2026.

Why Did Gourmia Recall More Than 175,000 Air Fryer Ovens?

Gourmia announced the recall after reports that its nine-slice digital air fryer ovens could unexpectedly close while consumers removed food.

According to the official CPSC recall announcement, the oven’s spring-loaded French doors can close when bumped. Someone reaching inside to retrieve a tray or hot food could come into contact with the heated doors.

The company reported 57 incidents involving the doors closing unexpectedly. Forty resulted in burns to consumers’ hands or wrists.

The reported injuries raise concerns about the safety of a feature consumers regularly use during normal meal preparation. Unlike situations where someone accidentally touches a hot cooking surface, this recall involves doors that may move unexpectedly while the appliance is in use.

Which Gourmia Air Fryer Ovens Are Affected?

The recall specifically covers Gourmia Stainless Steel Digital 9-Slice Air Fryer Ovens with the following identifying information:

• Model number: GTF7530
• UPC: 810002862779
• Date codes: 3021 through 0126
• Appearance: Stainless steel exterior with two spring-loaded glass French doors and metal handles

The model number and date code appear on a label on the back of the appliance. The model number and UPC may also appear on the original packaging.

Affected ovens were sold at Target stores and Target.com between October 2021 and June 2026 for approximately $150.

The recall does not identify every Gourmia air fryer as defective. Consumers should compare their appliance’s identifying information with the official notice before determining whether it is affected.

Can You File a Product Liability Claim After a Gourmia Air Fryer Burn?

Florida consumers who suffer injuries caused by defective products may have grounds to pursue compensation.

A product liability claim generally requires evidence that a product was defective, that the defect contributed to the injury, and that the person suffered damages as a result.

A recall can provide important information about a known safety concern, but the recall alone does not automatically establish liability in an individual case.

In Gourmia’s case, the reported hazard involves a mechanical feature of the oven: doors that may unexpectedly close during ordinary use. An investigation could examine whether the door mechanism created an unreasonable danger, whether safer design alternatives were available, and whether consumers received adequate warnings about the risk.

What Compensation May Be Available for Appliance Burn Injuries?

Compensation in a Florida product liability case depends on the severity of the injury, the available evidence, and the circumstances establishing legal responsibility.

Someone who suffered a significant burn injury may face expenses and losses involving:

• Emergency treatment, medical appointments, and wound care
• Surgery, rehabilitation, or treatment for scarring
• Lost income during recovery
• Reduced ability to work or perform everyday activities
• Physical pain, emotional distress, and other qualifying losses

Even injuries involving a relatively inexpensive household appliance can lead to substantial medical costs.

Our Clearwater personal injury lawyers can evaluate how an injury has affected someone’s health, employment, and daily life when assessing a potential compensation claim.

The amount recoverable, if any, depends on the evidence and applicable law.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Gourmia Air Fryer Recall

Does the recall cover air fryers purchased secondhand?

The recall identifies affected appliances by model and production information rather than requiring a purchase from the original retailer. Consumers who acquired an oven secondhand should check its identifying codes and contact Gourmia if their appliance is included.

Can I request a repair kit without my original receipt?

The CPSC recall notice does not specify that an original receipt is required. Consumers who no longer have proof of purchase should contact Gourmia with their appliance’s model and date code to confirm the process.

Does installing the repair kit affect a previous injury claim?

Installing the repair kit does not necessarily eliminate legal rights related to an earlier injury. However, modifying the appliance could affect evidence relevant to a claim. An injured consumer should consider preserving the appliance’s original condition before making changes.

Can I pursue a claim if my burn happened before the recall announcement?

Potentially. The date of the recall does not determine whether an earlier injury qualifies for a product liability claim. The facts surrounding the injury, evidence of a defect, and applicable legal deadlines must be evaluated.

The Gourmia recall highlights how an unexpected appliance malfunction can turn an ordinary kitchen task into a painful injury.

For Florida consumers who suffered burns, the important question is not simply whether the oven qualifies for a free repair. It is whether a defective product caused an injury for which someone else may be legally responsible.
