Gourmia 9-slice air fryer ovens recalled for door burn hazard

The hazard occurs during a task central to using the oven: reaching inside to retrieve hot food.

The oven was sold at Target stores and on Target.com from October 2021 through June 2026 for about $150. The CPSC advises owners to stop using the appliance right away and to contact Gourmia for a free doorstop repair kit sent by mail. The company will not ask owners to return the oven to receive the fix.

What the recall covers

About 175,951 units of the Gourmia GTF7530 are part of this recall, the CPSC says. The UPC code is 810002862779. Owners can verify whether their unit is covered by checking the label on the back of the oven, which shows both the model number and a date code identifying when the unit was made.

Ovens with date codes from 3021 to 0126 fall within the recall. Those figures mark the range of manufacturing dates that apply to this action. Any unit showing a date code in that range should not be used until the doorstop repair kit has been installed.

The appliance is a stainless steel countertop oven with two spring-loaded glass French doors on the front, each fitted with a metal handle. The spring-loaded design is at the center of the safety problem: a bump to the oven while the doors are open can send them swinging shut, with no warning to anyone reaching inside at that moment.

The importer is The Steelstone Group LLC, doing business as Gourmia, based in Brooklyn, New York. The units were made in China. The CPSC assigned recall number 27-069 to this action. New York State DHSES republished the recall notice, listing the same hazard and the same free repair-kit remedy for affected owners.

How the doors create a burn hazard

Air fryer ovens operate at high temperatures throughout a cooking cycle. Reaching in to pull out food or reposition it on a rack is a normal part of using one of these appliances. The spring-loaded doors on the GTF7530 are designed to stay open while a person does that, but the springs holding them can be overcome by an accidental contact with the oven body.

When that happens, the doors close quickly and without warning. If a person's hands or wrists are inside the oven at that moment, they can contact hot surfaces or the closing door itself, causing burns. This is not a failure that requires unusual force or deliberate misuse. Any ordinary bump during a normal cooking routine is enough to trigger it.

Gourmia received 57 reports of the oven doors closing without warning during food retrieval. Of those, 40 resulted in burns to consumers' hands or wrists, the CPSC says. These figures cover incidents reported directly to the company and to federal regulators. How many similar incidents went unreported is not publicly known.

New York State DHSES circulated the recall to state residents, describing the hazard in the same terms as the federal notice: doors that can close without warning when the oven is bumped while someone is retrieving hot food. That state-level alert extends the reach of the recall to households that may follow state agency communications more closely than federal ones.

Where Gourmia 9-slice air fryer ovens were sold

Target was the retail outlet for the GTF7530. The oven was available at Target stores nationwide and on Target.com. Sales ran from October 2021 through June 2026, with a retail price of about $150.

That is a sales window covering several years at a major national retailer, which means these ovens may be found across a broad range of households. Someone who purchased the oven in 2021 has owned it for a number of years and may not have seen the recall notice when it was first posted. People who received the oven as a gift may not have kept the original box, which also carries the model number and UPC code used to confirm whether a unit is covered.

The most reliable check is the label on the back of the oven itself. If the model number reads GTF7530 and the date code falls anywhere from 3021 to 0126, the unit is covered and should be set aside until the doorstop kit arrives and is installed.

What to do if you own one of these ovens

The CPSC advises owners to stop using the recalled oven right away. That means setting it aside, not continuing to run it while waiting for the repair kit to arrive. The spring-loaded door risk is present on every use until the doorstop is added. If other people in the household use the oven, letting them know about the recall before the kit arrives reduces the chance of an accidental burn.

Gourmia is providing a free repair kit by mail. The kit includes a doorstop component and step-by-step instructions for attaching it. Once in place, the doorstop blocks the spring-loaded French doors from closing on their own if the oven is bumped. This repair does not require shipping the appliance anywhere.

The doorstop modification limits how far the doors can swing back when pushed from the front. Installing it does not change how the oven operates or how hot it gets. It addresses only the spring-loaded door mechanism that led to the recall.

Owners can request the kit at gourmia.com/recall.asp. Customer service is available on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is no charge for the kit or its delivery. Owners who ordered through Target.com may have a purchase record that lists the model number, which can confirm eligibility quickly.

What the recall notice does not say

The CPSC recall notice does not report how many of the affected units are still in active use. The official notice provides no figure for how many households are currently running one of these ovens. That gap in the public record means the full scope of ongoing risk is not known.

The notice also does not set a deadline for requesting the free kit. The recall, as posted, does not name a date after which owners can no longer seek the fix. It is likewise not stated whether Gourmia will offer any other remedy, such as a refund or a product exchange. For now, the doorstop kit by mail is the only official solution the CPSC has listed.

Until the repair kit is in place, the safest course is to keep the oven unplugged and out of use. The model number is GTF7530, and date codes running from 3021 to 0126 mark a covered unit. The CPSC recall number for this action is 27-069.
