If you have a countertop oven that crisps up fries and warms leftover pizza, go flip it around and read the label on the back today. The federal Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall on November 5, 2026, covering about 175,951 Gourmia air fryer ovens, and the trouble is a glass door that can swing shut on your hand.
The recalled oven is the Gourmia Stainless Steel Digital 9 Slice Digital Air Fryer Oven, model GTF7530. It was sold at Target stores across the country and on Target.com from October 2021 through June 2026 for about $150.
57 Reports Of Doors Slamming Shut, And 40 Of Them Ended In Burns
According to the safety agency, the spring-loaded glass door can close unexpectedly when it gets bumped. That is a real problem when you are reaching in to pull out a hot tray of food.
The company has received 57 reports of doors closing while people were retrieving food. Forty of those reports involved burns to the consumer’s hands or wrists.
Think about how you actually use a toaster-style oven. You open the door, slide a rack out with one hand, and balance a pan with the other, all while the heating elements are still glowing.
A door that drops without warning in that moment is a recipe for a nasty burn. The numbers suggest it has happened to dozens of people already.
How To Tell If Your Oven Is One Of The 175,951
The model number and UPC code appear on the box, and a label on the back of the oven shows the model number along with date codes from 3021 to 0126. The model to look for is GTF7530, and the UPC is 810002862779.
The ovens were made in China and imported by The Steelstone Group LLC, which does business as Gourmia and is based in Brooklyn, New York. The agency lists the recall as number 27-069.
If your oven is a different Gourmia model, or a different brand altogether, it falls outside this recall. Still, it is a good moment to check anything with a spring-loaded or drop-down door.
Stop Using It Now, And The Fix Is A Free Doorstop
The agency says owners should stop using the oven immediately. Gourmia will mail a free repair kit that adds a doorstop, along with installation instructions.
To get the kit, call Gourmia at 888-834-0092, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can also go online to gourmia.com/recall.asp or use the Recall Information link on the Gourmia website.
Have the model number handy when you call. It speeds things up, and it keeps you from ordering a kit for an oven that is not on the list.
Until the kit arrives, the safest move is to unplug the oven and put it somewhere the grandkids will not reach it. A drawer full of tangled cords is not the place for it either, so shelve it where you will remember it is on hold.
The full notice is posted by the safety agency at cpsc.gov.
While You Are Checking The Kitchen, Look In The Toy Bin Too
The same week, the agency announced other notices that are worth a minute of your time. One covers Magnetopia magnetic building cubes and blocks, sold in sets of 60, 100, 150 and 200 pieces for $20 to $40.
About 7,600 sets were sold online from April 2025 through October 2026. The cubes can break open and release high-powered magnets, and swallowed magnets can attract each other inside the body and cause serious internal injury.
No incidents have been reported. Owners should stop using the cubes, keep them away from children, and contact the company for a full refund with a prepaid return label.
The agency also warned about Fire Blaze multipurpose lighters sold on Amazon from September 2024 through June 2026 for about $12. It says they lack the required child-resistant mechanism and do not meet the mandatory standard for multipurpose lighters, and it tells people to stop using them.
A third warning covers HAIARA W5 PRO power banks sold on Amazon and Newegg from January 2025 through October 2026. The agency says the lithium battery can explode and ignite, and it advises people to stop using them and follow local hazardous waste rules rather than selling or giving them away.
Five Minutes That Keep Recalls From Slipping By
Most of us never hear about a recall unless it happens to land on the evening news. A few simple habits close that gap.
First, write down the model numbers of your big small appliances, such as air fryers, slow cookers and space heaters, and keep them in a kitchen drawer or a note on your phone. Second, check the recall page of the Consumer Product Safety Commission now and then, or sign up for its email alerts.
Third, if you buy a new appliance, fill out the registration card or register online so the maker can reach you. Fourth, when you see a recall in a group chat or on social media, go to the agency website itself to confirm it before you act.
If you find a recalled item, do not donate it to a thrift store or sell it at a yard sale. The agency specifically tells people not to sell or give away items under a warning, and passing a hazard along to a neighbor just moves the burn risk down the street.
A repair kit and a doorstop are cheap fixes for a very expensive kind of accident. Take a look at your oven today.
