Gourmia Air Fryer Recall 2026, Nearly 176,000 Ovens Recalled After 40 Burn Injuries, Check Model GTF7530

Gourmia is recalling approximately 175,951 stainless steel digital air fryer ovens sold at Target. The company received 57 reports of the ovens’ glass doors unexpectedly closing, including 40 incidents in which people were burned on the hands or wrists.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on November 5, 2026 (Recall No. 27-069). The spring-loaded doors can swing shut when bumped, which is a real problem when someone is reaching in to pull out hot food.

The recall covers the Gourmia 9-Slice Digital Air Fryer Oven, model GTF7530, sold at Target stores nationwide and on Target.com between October 2021 and June 2026 for about $150. Owners should stop using the oven immediately. Gourmia is offering a free repair kit with an added doorstop and installation instructions. A refund or replacement oven is not the standard remedy.

Below you’ll find how to identify an affected oven, how to request the repair, what the law says about recalls, and what your options are if you were hurt.

Why Are Gourmia Digital Air Fryer Ovens Being Recalled?

The problem is the design of the two front glass French doors. A conventional oven door opens downward. On this Gourmia model, two spring-loaded doors open outward from the center.

According to the CPSC, those doors can close without warning if they are bumped. That creates a specific danger when someone reaches into the hot oven for food, a baking pan or a rack. The doors can swing shut and trap a hand or wrist against hot surfaces before the person can pull away.

How many people have been burned?

Gourmia received 57 reports of doors closing unexpectedly while consumers were retrieving food. Forty of those incidents resulted in burns to the hands or wrists.

The CPSC notice does not say how severe each injury was or whether anyone needed hospital care. These figures are the reports the company received. They should not be read as a full count of every malfunction or injury that may have happened.

Which Gourmia Air Fryers Are Recalled?

The recall is limited to one model and one production range.

Recalled model: GTF7530

The affected product is a stainless steel 9-slice digital air fryer oven with two glass-front French doors and metal handles. It was sold at Target nationwide and online for about $149.99.

How to check your Gourmia model number

1. Turn off the oven, unplug it and let it cool completely.
2. Find the product identification label on the back of the appliance.
3. Look for model number GTF7530.
4. Check whether the four-digit date code falls between 3021 and 0126.
5. If you still have the box, look for UPC 810002862779.

The four-digit codes mark the production period. They are not expiration dates. If the label is damaged or unreadable, contact Gourmia directly instead of assuming your oven is safe.

What are the Target product numbers?

Identifier	Number
Target item number	072-09-0004
Target online item number	82780907

These numbers can help you find the purchase in your Target account or order history.

Are all Gourmia air fryers recalled?

No. The November 2026 notice names model GTF7530 and the affected date codes only. Other Gourmia air fryers, including basket-style models, are not automatically part of this recall. Check your exact model instead of relying on the brand name.

Where the Recalled Ovens Were Sold

The ovens were sold at Target stores nationwide and on Target.com from October 2021 through June 2026 for about $150. They were imported by The Steelstone Group LLC, doing business as Gourmia, of Brooklyn, New York, and manufactured in China.

How to Get the Free Gourmia Air Fryer Repair Kit

The CPSC tells owners to stop using the recalled ovens and contact Gourmia for a free repair. The company mails a kit with an extra doorstop and installation instructions, designed to keep the doors from closing unexpectedly.

Gourmia recall phone number

888-834-0092, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., according to the CPSC.

What to have ready

Keep the model number and the four-digit date code handy when you contact the company. Gourmia may ask for shipping and contact details so it can mail the kit.

Do you need a receipt?

Published recall guidance indicates a purchase receipt is not required to get the repair kit.

How long does the kit take to arrive?

Gourmia’s guidance, as reported by Techlicious, suggests the kit may arrive roughly two to four weeks after you ask for it. Actual delivery times may differ. The CPSC has not announced a deadline for requesting the repair.

Do not use the oven while you wait for the kit. Do not try improvised fixes such as tape, wedges or homemade stops. Use only the official repair kit from Gourmia and follow its installation instructions before putting the oven back into service.

Can You Get a Refund Instead of the Repair Kit?

The official CPSC recall lists the remedy as repair, not refund. Gourmia is supplying a free doorstop kit. It is not replacing the oven or reimbursing the purchase price.

Don’t assume you are owed an automatic $150 through this recall. A separate refund or return request may be possible under a retailer’s return policy, an applicable warranty or consumer protection law. Those routes are separate from the official recall remedy.

Can you return the recalled oven to Target?

Target’s recall page sends customers to Gourmia for the free repair kit. The retailer does not advertise a blanket refund for affected ovens through the recall. If you want to ask about other return options, you can contact Target Guest Relations:

• Target store purchases: 800-440-0680
• Target.com purchases: 800-591-3869

What If You Were Burned by a Recalled Gourmia Oven?

A recall does not automatically create a cash compensation program for injured people. But if you were burned, you may have rights under state product-liability law.

Depending on the facts, a claim could be based on an alleged design defect, inadequate warnings or other recognized legal theories. Injured consumers may be able to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost earnings and other legally recoverable losses.

A recall alone does not prove the manufacturer is legally liable for every reported injury. Courts look at whether the product actually caused the harm, the nature of the defect, how the oven was being used, and the requirements of the applicable state’s law.

What to keep if you were injured

• Photographs of the injury and of the oven, including the model label and date code
• Medical records, bills and treatment notes
• Purchase information (receipt, Target account history, order confirmation)
• Any communication with Gourmia, Target or the CPSC
• The oven itself. Do not throw it away or alter it if you may pursue a claim, and ask a qualified attorney how to preserve it safely.

Report the incident

You can report an injury or a near miss through SaferProducts.gov, the CPSC’s public reporting system.

That recall involves breaking glass carafes and a different manufacturer, but it shows the same distinction between an official safety remedy and a possible personal-injury claim.

What Federal Law Applies to the Gourmia Recall?

Recalls like this one fall under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), enforced by the CPSC. Here are the provisions that matter most.

Reporting duties: 15 U.S.C. § 2064(b)

Manufacturers, importers, distributors and retailers must report to the CPSC when they learn a product contains a defect that could create a substantial product hazard, creates an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death, or fails to comply with an applicable safety rule. The CPSC’s regulations at 16 C.F.R. Part 1115 explain what counts as a substantial product hazard and how quickly a company must report. Reports are generally due within 24 hours of obtaining reportable information.

Corrective action and recalls: 15 U.S.C. § 2064(c)–(d)

The CPSC can work with a company on a voluntary corrective action plan, such as a repair, replacement or refund. If a company will not cooperate, the CPSC has authority to order a mandatory recall after a hearing. Which remedy is chosen depends on the hazard and the circumstances. Here, the specified remedy is a free repair kit.

It is illegal to sell recalled products: 15 U.S.C. § 2068(a)

The CPSA makes it unlawful to sell, offer for sale, manufacture, distribute or import a consumer product that is subject to a voluntary corrective action the Commission has announced to the public. In plain terms, recalled GTF7530 ovens should not be resold, whether through a store, an online marketplace, a garage sale or a secondhand listing.

Penalties: 15 U.S.C. §§ 2069–2070

Violations of the CPSA, including failing to report a hazard on time, can bring civil penalties. The statute sets per-violation and related-series maximums that the CPSC adjusts for inflation, so check the current figures. Knowing and willful violations can also lead to criminal penalties under § 2070.

Public information and disclosure: 15 U.S.C. §§ 2055 and 2055a

Section 6(b) governs how the CPSC discloses information that identifies a manufacturer. Section 6A created the public consumer product safety information database at SaferProducts.gov, where consumers can file and read incident reports.

Private lawsuits under the CPSA: 15 U.S.C. §§ 2072 and 2074

Section 2072 allows a person injured by a knowing violation of a CPSC rule or order to sue for damages, with the possibility of attorney’s fees. Section 2074 makes clear that complying with CPSC rules does not automatically shield a company from liability under state common law. In other words, a recall does not replace your state-law rights, and it does not erase them either.

State Law: Product Liability, Warranty and Time Limits

Most injury claims over a defective appliance are decided under state law. The details vary by state, but the main frameworks are consistent.

• Strict product liability. Many states follow the approach in Restatement (Second) of Torts § 402A, under which a seller of a defective, unreasonably dangerous product can be liable for injuries without the injured person proving negligence.
• Design defect and failure to warn. Under Restatement (Third) of Torts: Products Liability § 2, a product can be defective in design, in manufacturing, or because of inadequate instructions or warnings. A spring-loaded door that closes when bumped is the kind of feature a plaintiff might frame as a design issue.
• Post-sale duties. Restatement (Third) § 10 addresses a seller’s duty to warn after a product is sold when a later-discovered risk calls for it. Section 11 addresses recalls, generally imposing liability for failure to recall only where a statute or regulation requires it or the seller voluntarily undertook a recall and then failed to act reasonably.
• Negligence. Some claims allege the company failed to use reasonable care in designing, testing, labeling or responding to complaints.
• Warranty claims. The Uniform Commercial Code’s implied warranty of merchantability (UCC § 2-314) and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301 et seq.) may apply, depending on the facts and the warranty terms.
• Evidence of the recall. Under rules like Federal Rule of Evidence 407 and its state counterparts, later repairs may be limited as evidence of fault, though exceptions exist. How a recall is treated in court depends on the jurisdiction and the claim.
• Deadlines. Each state sets its own statute of limitations for personal injury and product claims, often one to three years from the injury or its discovery, and some states also have statutes of repose. Missing a deadline can end a claim, so injured consumers should not wait.

This is general information only. Whether you have a viable claim depends on your state, your injury and the evidence.

Is this a Gourmia class action lawsuit?

No class action or settlement tied specifically to this November 2026 recall was verified in the sources reviewed. A federal recall is an administrative safety action, not automatically a lawsuit.

If a class action were filed, it would typically proceed under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23, and many nationwide consumer class actions are filed in federal court under the Class Action Fairness Act (28 U.S.C. § 1332(d)). Personal-injury claims are often handled individually rather than as a class, because the injuries differ from person to person.

Be cautious about websites claiming there is already a court-approved Gourmia settlement or guaranteed cash payout. For separate litigation involving cooking-appliance defects, see Whirlpool Class Action Lawsuits Over Range Defects, Burner Knobs and Shattering KitchenAid Oven Glass. Those cases involve different manufacturers and different alleged defects.

Is the Gourmia Door Problem Similar to Other Oven Defects?

Other oven-door complaints and lawsuits exist, but the alleged mechanisms differ. In the Gourmia recall, spring-loaded doors can close unexpectedly when bumped. In other litigation, consumers have alleged that oven glass broke or shattered.

For example, Frigidaire Ovens Exploding at Night While Owners Sleep, 900+ Complaints, Glass Shooting Across Kitchens covers separate allegations about shattered oven-door glass. These are different problems and should not be treated as evidence of one defect shared by all air fryers or ovens.
