Are air fryers a fire hazard?
Online Answer
The short answer is no! Although there have been occasional reports of air fryers catching on fire, this is not the norm for air fryers. With proper use, you should not experience an air fryer catching on fire. Other than user error, the only way is if your air fryer has been shipped with a fault from the manufacturer.
