Burned by a Recalled Gourmia 9-Slice Air Fryer Oven?

The Gourmia air fryer oven recall involves certain 9-slice digital air fryer ovens that the Consumer Product Safety Commission says pose a burn hazard. People who were burned while using one of these ovens, and families of those hurt, may be able to file a product liability claim for medical bills, lost income, scarring, and pain and suffering.

What did Gourmia recall?

Gourmia recalled certain 9-slice digital air fryer ovens because, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the ovens pose a burn hazard to consumers. The official CPSC recall notice for the Gourmia 9-slice digital air fryer ovens lists the details owners need. It also explains what the recall remedy is and how to contact the company.

Countertop air fryer ovens have become a staple in many Florida kitchens. People use them every day to toast bread, reheat leftovers, roast vegetables and cook full meals. Because these appliances sit at counter height and are often opened and closed several times while food cooks, a design or manufacturing problem can put a person’s hands, arms, face or upper body at risk in an instant. Children who reach up toward the counter can also be exposed.

Before doing anything else, we encourage owners to compare their oven against the information in the CPSC notice. Look for the model information on the label of your appliance, usually on the back or bottom. If your oven matches, stop using it and follow the instructions in the recall notice.

How can a digital air fryer oven cause burns?

A digital air fryer oven can cause burns when hot surfaces, hot air, hot food or hot cooking oil reach the user in a way the product’s design and warnings should have prevented. The CPSC notice describes the specific hazard tied to this recall. The general ways these appliances hurt people include:

• Hot door or glass: a door, handle or glass panel that becomes dangerously hot, breaks, or opens unexpectedly.
• Escaping heat or grease: hot air, steam or grease that vents toward the user during cooking or when the door opens.
• Overheating components: heating elements or electronics that run hotter than they should.
• Unstable racks or trays: parts that slip or tip while a person removes food, spilling hot contents.
• Inadequate warnings: instructions that fail to tell users about a hidden danger.

Heat-related product hazards are a serious concern. The CPSC’s own injury data reports that in 2023, fires contributed to 5 percent or approximately 3,150 of the annual consumer product-related deaths. Even burns that do not threaten a person’s life can lead to painful treatment, infection, scarring and time away from work.

Many families have dealt with similar problems involving other brands. You can read more on our air fryer burn injury claims page. We also discuss specific brands, including the Power XL air fryer recall lawsuit.

What should you do if a Gourmia air fryer oven burned you?

Get medical care first, then preserve the oven and document what happened, because those steps can protect both your health and any claim you may have. Here is a practical order to follow:

1. Seek medical treatment right away, even for burns that seem minor. Burns can worsen over the following days, and a medical record links the injury to the incident.
2. Unplug the oven and stop using it once it is safe to do so.
3. Do not throw the oven away, return it, or send it back to the company until you have spoken with a lawyer. The appliance itself is often the most important piece of evidence.
4. Take clear photos of your injuries over time, the oven, its label and model information, and the area where it was used.
5. Write down what happened while it is fresh: what you were cooking, how long the oven had been on, and what you saw, heard or felt.
6. Save your receipt, order confirmation, or credit card statement showing the purchase.
7. Talk with an experienced product liability lawyer before signing anything from the manufacturer, a retailer or an insurance company.

What evidence should you keep after an air fryer oven burn?

Keep anything that shows what product you owned, how the injury happened, and how it has affected your life. Use this short checklist:

• The air fryer oven, its racks, trays, cord and any broken pieces
• The box, manual, and any warning labels or inserts
• Proof of purchase, such as a receipt or online order history
• Photos and videos of the oven and your injuries
• Medical records, prescriptions and bills
• Records of missed work and lost income
• Names of anyone who saw the incident or helped you afterward
• Any letters, emails or recall notices you received from Gourmia or a retailer

Examples of how air fryer oven burn claims may arise

Every case is different, and the scenarios below are illustrations for explanation only. They are not actual clients or real case results. They show the kinds of situations that can lead people to ask whether they may have a claim.

• Reaching for the tray: A Broward County parent opens the oven to check on dinner and suffers a burn on the forearm from a hot surface. The burn later requires wound care and leaves a scar.
• A child at the counter: A young child touches the outside of the oven while it is running and suffers a burn to the hand. The family later learns the model was recalled for a burn hazard.
• Hot contents spilling: A retiree removes a tray of food, and hot contents spill onto the legs and feet. The retiree needs several weeks of treatment and help at home.
• A burn at work: An employee at a small office uses a shared countertop oven in the break room and is burned. The case raises questions about both the product and workplace coverage.

In situations like these, a lawyer may look at whether the oven was one of the recalled units, how it was used, what the warnings said, and how the injury happened.

Who may be responsible for a defective air fryer oven injury?

Depending on the facts, responsibility for a defective air fryer oven injury may rest with the manufacturer, the brand that sold it under its name, a distributor, or a retailer. Product liability law in Florida generally allows injured people to pursue claims based on several legal theories:

• Design defect: the product’s design made it unreasonably dangerous.
• Manufacturing defect: something went wrong when a particular unit was made.
• Failure to warn: the instructions or labels did not adequately describe a risk.
• Negligence: a company did not use reasonable care in making, testing or selling the product.
• Breach of warranty: the product did not perform as promised or as a buyer would reasonably expect.

Our firm has also written about other Gourmia products, including Gourmia pressure cooker lawsuits involving model GPC625.

Does a recall mean you automatically have a case?

No. A recall does not automatically prove that a company is liable for a specific injury, but it can be important evidence that a safety problem existed. Your claim may still depend on showing that your oven was one of the recalled units, that the defect caused your injury, and that you suffered real losses. Even if your model was not part of this recall, you may still have a claim if a defect caused your burn. A lawyer can review your situation and explain the options that may be available to you.

How long do you have to file an air fryer burn claim in Florida?

Florida law sets strict deadlines for injury claims, and missing one can bar a case entirely, so it is wise to act promptly. Florida Statute §95.11 sets the time limits for many types of lawsuits. Changes made in 2023 shortened the deadline for many negligence claims, so the time you have may be shorter than you expect. The exact deadline can depend on the legal theory and the facts.

Florida also uses a comparative fault system under Florida Statute §768.81. In many cases, any compensation can be reduced if the injured person is found partly at fault. A person found more than 50 percent at fault generally may not recover. Manufacturers sometimes argue that a user misused a product, which is another reason to preserve evidence early.

What compensation may be available for a burn injury?

People hurt by a defective product may be able to seek compensation for both financial losses and the personal impact of the injury. Depending on the case, that may include:

• Emergency care, hospital stays, burn treatment and follow-up visits
• Future medical care, including scar revision or therapy
• Lost wages and reduced ability to earn
• Pain and suffering and emotional distress
• Disfigurement and scarring
• Loss of enjoyment of daily life

No lawyer can promise a particular outcome. The value of any claim depends on the facts, the evidence, and the injuries involved.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Gourmia Air Fryer Oven Recall

How do I know if my Gourmia air fryer oven is part of the recall?

Check the model information on your oven’s label and compare it to the details in the CPSC recall notice. If you are unsure, keep the oven and take photos of the label. A lawyer or the company’s recall contact can help you confirm.

Should I keep using my air fryer oven if it matches the recall?

The CPSC generally advises consumers to stop using recalled products right away. Follow the instructions in the recall notice. If you were injured, keep the oven rather than throwing it out.

Can I still file a claim if I accepted the recall remedy?

Accepting a refund, repair or replacement may not by itself end your right to pursue an injury claim. However, any release or form you sign could affect your rights. It is a good idea to speak with a lawyer before signing documents or sending the product back.

What if I no longer have my receipt?

You may still have a claim. Online order histories, credit card statements, photos of the product in your home, and the oven itself can often help show that you owned it.

My child was burned by the oven. Can our family file a claim?

Parents or guardians can generally bring a claim on behalf of an injured child. Children’s burns may need long-term care as they grow, so documenting treatment carefully can be especially important.
