Standfirst: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on November 5, 2026 that Gourmia is recalling about 175,951 9-Slice Digital Air Fryer Ovens because the oven doors can close without warning while a person is taking hot food out, which can cause burns. Gourmia has received 57 reports of the doors closing unexpectedly, with 40 people burned on their hands or wrists. The ovens were sold at Target for about $150, and owners can get a free repair kit.
What was recalled
- The product: The recall covers Gourmia 9-Slice Digital Air Fryer Ovens, stainless steel ovens with glass French doors and metal handles.
- Model number: The recalled ovens are model number GTF7530. The model number is printed on the back of the unit.
- Units affected: About 175,951 ovens are covered by the recall in the United States.
- Recall number: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, known as the CPSC, announced the recall on November 5, 2026, as CPSC recall number 27069. The ovens were imported by The Steelstone Group LLC, doing business as Gourmia, of Brooklyn, New York.
Which ovens are affected
- Model number: Only model GTF7530 is recalled. The model number is on the back of the unit, so you will need to turn the oven around to read it.
- UPC code: The recalled ovens carry UPC 810002862779, the long number printed under the barcode. It is one more way to confirm whether your oven is part of the recall.
- Date codes: The recall covers date codes 3021 to 0126, printed on the back of the unit next to the model number. If the model number is GTF7530 and the date code falls in that range, your oven is part of the recall.
- If your oven does not match: If the model number is not GTF7530, or the date code is outside the range of 3021 to 0126, your oven is not part of this recall. Keep the model number and date code written down, so you can check quickly if a future recall notice names your product.
Why the doors are a burn risk
- The hazard: The oven doors can unexpectedly close when they are bumped while a person is retrieving hot food. They are the glass French doors on the front of the oven.
- When the risk happens: The risk comes when a person is reaching into the oven to take hot food out. That is when hands and wrists are closest to the hot door, and a door that closes on its own can touch bare skin.
- What makes it dangerous: The closing is unexpected. A person who opens the doors expects them to stay open while the food is taken out, so there is no time to move a hand out of the way. A bump can happen in normal kitchen use, for example when someone brushes against the open door.
- Why the recall was issued: The recall was issued because the doors can close on their own after a bump, and that creates a burn hazard during normal use. The fix is a repair kit.
What has been reported so far
- Reports to Gourmia: Gourmia received 57 reports of the doors closing unexpectedly, each describing the same problem: the doors closing on their own while a person was using the oven.
- Burn injuries: Those reports resulted in 40 incidents of burns to consumers’ hands or wrists. That means that in most of the reported cases, a person was burned when the door closed.
- What the numbers show: The 57 reports and the 40 burns show that this is not a one-time problem. The same door problem was reported again and again, and in most cases it led to a burn. That pattern is the reason for the recall and the free repair kit. If your oven door has closed unexpectedly, stop using the oven and contact Gourmia, even if you were not burned.
Where the ovens were sold
- Retailer: The recalled ovens were sold at Target stores nationwide and on Target.com, the only retailer named in the recall notice.
- Sale period and price: The ovens were sold from October 2021 through June 2026 for about $150, a sale period of nearly five years, which is why so many ovens are covered. An oven bought in 2021 may still be in regular use in 2026, and one bought in 2025 may be almost new.
- If you bought it as a gift: If you gave one as a gift, or you received one as a gift, tell the person who has the oven now about the recall. The person using the oven needs to check the model number and request the repair kit.
What to do if you own one
- Stop using it: If your oven is part of the recall, stop using it right away. Do not keep using it while you wait for the repair kit. The door problem can happen on any use.
- Get a free repair kit: Contact Gourmia for a free repair kit, which will be sent to you by mail at no charge.
- How to contact Gourmia: Call Gourmia toll-free at 888-834-0092, or go to the recall page at gourmia.com/recall.asp, with your model number and date code ready.
- While you wait: Do not use the oven while you wait for the repair kit. Put it where it will not be used by mistake, for example in a cupboard away from the counter, and tell everyone in the household that it is not to be used.
- Do not try to fix it yourself: Do not try to fix the door spring yourself, and do not try to tighten, bend, or adjust the door parts. A home fix may not hold, and it may make the problem worse. Wait for the free repair kit and follow the instructions that come with it.
How to check your oven step by step
- Step 1, unplug it: Unplug the oven and let it cool down completely before you move it. Never reach behind a hot oven to read a label.
- Step 2, turn it around: Carefully turn the oven around so you can see the back of the unit, where the label is printed.
- Step 3, find the model number: If the label reads GTF7530, your oven is the recalled model. If it reads a different number, it is not part of this recall.
- Step 4, find the date code: The date code is on the same label, beside the model number. If it is between 3021 and 0126, your oven is covered by the recall.
- Step 5, check the UPC if you are unsure: If the label is worn or hard to read, the UPC 810002862779 is another way to confirm the product.
- Step 6, act on what you find: If the model number and date code match, stop using the oven and contact Gourmia at 888-834-0092 or at gourmia.com/recall.asp for your free repair kit. If they do not match, you can keep using your oven as normal. If you still need help, our food recall check for your kitchen can help you work out whether a recall affects you.
A separate warning about a Gourmia pressure cooker
- A different product: This section is about a separate product, not the air fryer oven in this recall. In February 2026, the CPSC warned consumers to stop using Gourmia GPC625 six-quart pressure cookers because the lid can open while the cooker is pressurized.
- Warning, not a recall: The pressure cooker notice was a safety warning, not a recall for this air fryer. It told consumers to stop using the GPC625 pressure cookers because of the lid problem, which is different from the air fryer oven doors closing unexpectedly.
- Why it is mentioned here: It is here only so owners of Gourmia products can tell the two notices apart. If you own a GPC625 pressure cooker, the February 2026 warning applies to it. If you own a GTF7530 air fryer oven, the November 5, 2026 recall in this article applies to it. Check the model number on each product you own.
How to stay on top of kitchen recalls
- Check the back of the unit: For most kitchen appliances, the model number and date code are printed on the back or the bottom of the unit. When a recall notice names a product, the model number is the fastest way to tell whether yours is affected.
- Keep the box details: If you still have the box or the receipt, keep them with the model number and date code written on them. The UPC and the date you bought the product can help you confirm a recall quickly.
- Act on the remedy: A recall notice always names a remedy. In this case it is a free repair kit by mail. Use the contact details in the notice itself, and do not pay anyone who offers to fix a recalled product for a fee.
- Recalls reach beyond the kitchen: A Bodum French press was recalled for a burn risk, and you can read our Bodum French press recall over burn risk to see how a similar hazard was handled. Recalls can also reach beyond the kitchen, as our Little Giant ladders recall over a fall hazard shows. If you know someone who owns the same oven, pass the details on to them: model number GTF7530, date codes 3021 to 0126, and the Gourmia phone number 888-834-0092.
