Best Buy is recalling more than 700,000 air fryers after reports that the devices were "catching fire, burning or melting," according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The recall includes 772,000 Insignia air fryers and air ovens in the US and Canada. Consumers with affected models have been instructed to immediately stop using the products and return them to Best Buy for a refund or store credit, the commission said in a release.
Best Buy did not immediately respond to Insider's request to comment on the recall.
According to the CPSC, Best Buy received 68 reports from consumers in the US and 36 in Canada tied to Insignia's digital and analog air fryers, as well as its digital air fryer oven.
The cases include "seven reports of minor property damage and two reports of injuries, including an injury to a child's leg," the CPSC reported.
The impacted products were sold in stores and online — on the Best Buy website, as well as on eBay and Google — from November 2018 through February 2022.
"Best Buy is contacting all known purchasers directly to arrange returns and providing pre-paid shipping boxes and labels and return instructions," the commission said in a release.
