Urgent Tower Air Fryer Recall – Stop Using These Models Now
Hey everyone, I just wanted to quickly bring your attention to something really important, especially if you or someone you know owns a Tower air fryer. There's been a major product recall affecting nearly 60,000 air fryers sold right here in Ireland. The warning comes from the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission — the CCPC — and it’s not something to take lightly.
So, here’s the situation: five specific models of Tower air fryers, sold between 2020 and 2024, have been identified with a dangerous manufacturing defect . Basically, these air fryers can overheat. And that’s not just a minor flaw — overheating could lead to fire, injuries, or even worse. While no incidents have been reported yet in Ireland, the UK has already seen some cases where these models have caught fire.
The affected models are:
-
T17023 Tower 2.2L Manual Air Fryer
-
T17061BLK Tower 4L Manual Air Fryer
-
T17067 Tower 4L Digital Air Fryer

T17087 Tower 2L Compact Manual Air Fryer
-
T17129L Vortx 8L Dual Basket Air Fryer
If you’re not sure which model you have, it's super easy to check. Unplug your air fryer, flip it over, and take a look at the rating label underneath. The model number should start with a "T" — if it matches any of the ones I just mentioned, you need to stop using it immediately. Don’t wait. Unplug it and contact Tower Housewares for further instructions. You can either visit tower-safety.eu or email them at towerproduct@customersvc.co.uk .
These products were sold through a lot of major retailers — think Argos, Tesco, Lidl, DID, Dealz, Amazon, and even directly from the Tower website. So even if you bought it a couple of years ago, double-check. The issue affects units made over a four-year span.
Grainne Griffin, the Director of Communications at the CCPC, called it a “dangerous manufacturing defect” and stressed how urgent it is for anyone with one of these devices to check their model. Again — if it’s on the list, do not use it .
If you’ve got questions or concerns, you can also reach out to the CCPC’s consumer helpline at 01 4025555, Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., or email them at ask@ccpc.ie .
Please spread the word. This is one of those situations where just a few minutes of your time could prevent a serious accident. Stay safe, everyone.
