Tower Air Fryers Recalled Over Fire Risk — Households Urged to Unplug Now
Hey, just a quick heads-up—if you’ve got a Tower air fryer at home, especially one bought in the last couple of years, you might want to stop what you're doing and check it right now. There’s been a serious recall issued, and it's not something to take lightly. The warning is coming from the Office for Product Safety and Standards here in the UK, and it's pretty direct: stop using your air fryer immediately and unplug it .
So what’s going on? Several models of Tower air fryers—those sleek black ones you see everywhere—have been found to pose a fire risk. We're talking about appliances that can overheat and potentially ignite during use. Obviously, that’s a major safety issue, and it turns out they don’t meet the necessary electrical safety regulations.
The recall isn’t entirely new; it’s actually been going on for a few months. But now, even more models have been added to the list. These are devices that were sold between January 2022 and April 2023 through big-name retailers like Argos, B&M, Poundland, Tesco, Robert Dyas, and even directly from Tower Housewares’ own website.
Here are the six models affected:
-
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 – Tower Vortx 8L Air Fryer (sold at Lidl)
-
T17129 – Tower Vortx 8L Air Fryer (sold at Argos)
If you've got one of these, it's essential to unplug it and stop using it immediately. Tower has put out a message themselves, saying that customer safety is their top priority and that they’re handling this voluntarily to ensure everything is up to standard. They’ve set up a dedicated website— tower-safety.co.uk —where you can check if your air fryer is one of the affected ones. You’ll just need to locate the rating label on the bottom of your appliance and have access to your contact details to get started with a refund or replacement.
Again, this isn’t just a small issue—it's a national product safety recall. If you or someone you know has one of these air fryers, it’s really important to spread the word. No one wants to risk a kitchen fire over something that's supposed to make cooking easier. Stay safe, and double-check those model numbers.
