Federal safety regulators say about 175,951 Gourmia air fryer ovens sold only at Target are being recalled because the oven doors can close without warning while people take hot food out. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission posted the recall on November 5, saying the spring-loaded glass French doors can shut when the oven is bumped, trapping a hand or wrist against hot glass and metal.
The commission said Gourmia has received 57 reports of the doors closing unexpectedly while owners were retrieving food. Forty of those reports involved burns to hands or wrists. No deaths have been reported.
Which ovens are covered
The recall covers the Gourmia Stainless Steel 9-Slice Digital Air Fryer Oven, model number GTF7530, with UPC code 810002862779. The model number and date codes are printed on a label on the back of the oven. The covered date codes run from 3021 to 0126.
The ovens were sold at Target stores across the country and on Target.com from October 2021 through June 2026. They cost about $150. Target was the only retailer that sold this model, according to the recall notice.
Why the doors close
The oven has two glass French doors held by springs. The commission said a bump while the doors are open, for example when a tray is pulled out, can make the doors swing closed on their own. A person reaching inside at that moment can be burned by the hot door or the heated interior.
The reports describe the same pattern: food is lifted out, the oven shifts or is nudged, and the doors snap shut on a hand or wrist. The commission classifies the defect as a burn hazard, and the recall number is 27-069.
What owners should do
Regulators say owners should stop using the recalled oven and contact Gourmia for a free repair kit. The kit adds a magnetic doorstop and comes with installation instructions. Kits are expected to arrive by mail in about two to four weeks.
Owners can call Gourmia toll free at 888-834-0092 or use the recall page at gourmia.com/recall.asp to request the kit. The fix is free, and owners do not need a receipt to get it, according to the recall instructions.
Until the doorstop is fitted, the commission's advice is simple: do not cook with the oven. A countertop oven that has sat in a kitchen for years is easy to forget about, and regulators say the safest step is to unplug it and set it aside until the repair kit arrives.
The recall is one of the larger kitchen appliance actions of the year. The Steelstone Group, which sells the Gourmia brand, reported the door complaints to the commission, and the agency posted the recall after the injury count reached 40.
