Urgent recall issued for Tower Air Fryers sold at Tesco, Argos due to fire risk

An urgent product recall has been issued for specific Tower Air Fryers sold at major UK retailers including Tesco, Argos, and B&M due to a fire risk. The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) warns that these appliances can overheat and ignite during use, prompting consumers to stop using them immediately and unplug them. The affected models, manufactured between January 2022 and April 2023, include the T17023, T17061BLK, T17067, and T17087. Tower Housewares has stated that while the fault is considered low risk, they have chosen to recall the products as a precaution. Customers can verify if they own an affected model by checking the appliance rating label and can find refund or replacement information on the Tower Housewares website. The OPSS confirmed that these products do not meet the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016, necessitating the recall.
