CPSC warns consumers to stop using Kalorik MAXX French-door air fryer ovens after burn reports
CPSC says the glass doors on Kalorik MAXX and MAXX Advance air fryer ovens can close suddenly on a user's arms, causing burns. No recall is available because the original importers closed and the current brand owner declined to take part.
On October 15, 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a product safety warning (No. 27-033) for Kalorik MAXX and MAXX Advance air fryer ovens with French doors.
CPSC says the glass doors can close suddenly on a user's arms while the oven is on. The agency is aware of dozens of reported burns, including at least one with scarring consistent with second-degree burns. The page does not give a count of units sold.
The ovens were sold at Walmart, Home Depot and other specialty retailers, and online through Kalorik.com, Amazon.com and other sites. The original importers, Team International Group of America, Inc. and Kalorik, LLC, sold them from April 2020 to January 8, 2024. The Legacy Companies, LLC sold them after June 23, 2025. The ovens are made in China, and CPSC does not list a price.
This is a warning rather than a recall. CPSC says the original importers have gone out of business and cannot run a recall, and that The Legacy Companies, the current owner of the Kalorik brand, declined to participate in one. The agency tells consumers to stop using the ovens immediately, dispose of them following local hazardous waste procedures, and report incidents at SaferProducts.gov.
For homeowners, this means there is no refund or repair program tied to the notice. Installers and contractors who place or replace countertop and built-in kitchen appliances may want to know the model names when customers ask.
