About the Recalled Air Fryer Oven
The recall covers the Gourmia model GTF7530 Stainless Steel Digital 9-Slice Air Fryer Oven, UPC 810002862779, with codes 3021 to 0126 on the label on the back of the unit. The oven was sold exclusively at Target stores nationwide and on Target.com between October 2021 and June 2026 for approximately $150.
Latest Updates
The CPSC announced Fast Track Recall No. 27-069 on November 5, 2026, covering approximately 175,951 Gourmia GTF7530 air fryer ovens sold exclusively at Target, citing 57 reports of the oven door closing unexpectedly and 40 confirmed burn injuries to consumers’ hands and wrists [1]. Consumers who own the recalled unit are directed to stop using it immediately and contact Gourmia for a free repair kit — a doorstop and installation instructions mailed directly to their home [2][3].
The Door Closure Hazard Explained
The GTF7530’s oven door can swing shut on its own when the unit is bumped while the door is open, trapping or striking a consumer’s hand or wrist against an oven interior that may be operating at temperatures well above 400°F during air frying. Unlike a conventional oven where the door opens downward and rests on its hinge, air fryer oven doors that open outward and close under their own weight create a pinch and burn risk that is particularly dangerous when a consumer is mid-reach to remove hot food.
With 40 documented burn injuries across 57 door-closure incidents, the injury rate for this recall is exceptionally high — nearly 70 percent of reported incidents resulted in a confirmed burn to the consumer’s hand or wrist. That rate indicates the door closure mechanism consistently causes harm when it fails rather than merely startling the user.
Burn Injuries and Who Was Affected
The 40 burn injuries documented in CPSC incident reports prior to the November 2026 recall all involved contact between a consumer’s hand or wrist and a hot oven interior or rack during the unexpected door-closure event. Burns to the hand and wrist can range from superficial first-degree burns requiring no medical care to deep second- and third-degree burns requiring emergency treatment, wound care, and in serious cases, skin grafting.
Approximately 175,951 units were sold at Target over nearly five years, meaning a substantial number of consumers may have experienced unreported door-closure incidents without seeking medical attention or filing a complaint with Gourmia or the CPSC. No deaths were reported in connection with this recall.
Can I File a Lawsuit?
If you were burned by the door of a Gourmia GTF7530 air fryer oven, you may have a product liability claim against The Steelstone Group LLC for defective design and failure to warn. Contact an attorney promptly, as state filing deadlines apply.
