What’s the issue?
The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has flagged a technical fault in the Pro Breeze 2L Air Fryer, which can cause it to overheat and potentially catch fire.
The product does not comply with the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016, making it a hazard to consumers.
Pro Breeze, whose air fryers usually sell for around £100, is urging everyone to stop using the affected model immediately and to unplug it.
Which air fryers are affected?
The model involved in the recall is AF-03-UK with the barcode 5060596022409 and an Amazon barcode X0014E52NJ.

Once you’ve submitted your form, Pro Breeze will review it and contact you with the next steps, usually within 20 working days.
What are recall notices?
Recalls happen when a product poses a risk to customers, such as a safety hazard or quality issue.
This differs from a product being withdrawn, which means it is taken off the shelves.
Food products, for example, are recalled if they have contamination risks, such as harmful bacteria or if there are manufacturing issues like plastic or metal being found inside.
They can also be recalled if allergen information is missing or incorrect.
The OPSS handles non-food recalls, including those for items like electronics, medicine, and vehicles.
If you own the affected Pro Breeze air fryer, act now to avoid any potential danger. This is not a recall to ignore, so check your model and take the necessary steps for a return.
