Health Canada, Best Buy recall Insignia air fryers over potential fire risk

Health Canada and Best Buy are recalling five types of Insignia-brand air fryers because they are a potential fire or burn hazard.

There have been six reports in Canada of the air fryer’s handles melting or breaking and one report of the glass breaking due to overheating.

There have also been reports of the air fryers catching fire in the U.S., but no injuries have been reported.

The affected models were sold between September 2021 and November 2023.

Health Canada says people with the affected air fryers should immediately unplug them.

Best Buy Canada will provide a gift card for the full purchase price to
