I was cooking with my partner. The food was finished so he shut it off. I looked over, and it was smoking out the top, and caught on fire.

My name is [REDACTED] and I purchased by phone on 10/9/10 a TastWave Cookware by Chef Tony. This cookware is designed for cooking for cooking food in microwave. I tried it one time right after I received it and didn't use it again until March 15,2011. I was going to just make a toasted cheese sandwich I put the sandwich in the unit and put the unit in the microwave and started the time for 4 minutes. After about 30 seconds I looked up and there was a fire inside the microwave. I got the fire out and what a mess and what caused the fire was the dome lid knob. The microwave is ruined black soot all over the kitchen and while I was running to open the door and window I fell and hit my left knee. I called the company and let them no what had happened and they refunded the money I spent for the unit and to send them any pictures I could and I did. I also let them no that I expected them to pay for the clean up and replace the microwave for the total coast of $844.28. I was told by [REDACTED] that he had turned it over to there Attorney's and still no answer. I contacted [REDACTED] and my case #8619267 and they ended up with the same answer. So they advised me to see if the Consumer Product Safety Commission could help me. I'm also attaching some other information I hope will help.

Was using a NuWave Air Fryer Brio 6-Qt My girlfriend pulled the basket out after our fries were done. The release "button" on the outer basket was somehow triggered and released the outer basket containing the hot oil. The oil sprayed on us and caused burns. I get that warnings are important, but they are a weak safety control. In my opinion, these warnings are also too vague to put the user on notice about the basket separation hazard. It is wayyyyy too easy to inadvertently release the baskets and the warning appears to be inadequate on user manual. We are both smart people and my girlfriend went to culinary school for 2 years and this was NOT AN OBVIOUS HAZARD. The only warning I found in the manual was "use caution when shaking basket" and on page 8 warning #9 "extreme caution must be used when moving unit containing hot oil or other hot liquids" There were no warnings about the inadvertent separation. There was no pictogram showing we could be splashed with hot oil. If we had a cat or a kid nearby it would have scalded them badly. We were lucky we were adults who just got sprayed on our legs - it sucked a lot but aside from skin discoloration and the need to use ice packs we were fine a week later. I was horrified. Here are some simple solutions: (1) how about a red release button so people are more conscious of the release potential (2) how about a lock or button cover to prevent the thumb from accidentally releasing (3) a specific warning would be useful about the need to not slip and hit the button and to keep the basket on a level surface. I have emailed this to Costco and Customer Service. Hopefully this changes before someone else gets burned more badly.

Coworker air fryer. We returned after the recall of 2023. They sent a a replacement. This week our kitchen circuit breakers kept getting thrown. We isolated the issue to the air fryer and discovered the power cord was dangerously hot.

I purchased a Cosori Smart 5.8 Air Fryer from Bed Bath & Beyond. The screw inside the air fryer basket fell off into the food I was cooking. Cosori replaced the basket when I complained in 2020. I was using the new basket today when one screw fell off into my food and the other two screws were loose enough to also fall off.

We have a Cuisinart TOA-65 digital air fryer toaster oven and when we unplug it after use the cord and plug are alarmingly hot. I am worried that it will start a fire. We have only had it for a couple of months and typically use it for less than 20 minutes, and always unplug when it is not being used.

As seen on TV product Gotham Steel Grill copper grill mat was given to me for my birthday. On opening the package and unrolling the mats, I was cut rather badly on my finger. While It did not require stitches, It was a pretty bad cut. This product and others like it are very sharp on their edges. I have tested a few other brands, and most I have tested were exactly the same.

Sustained a Significant burn on leg above knee while removing a (9x13 steel) metal pan, (with fried chicken dinner), from oven, was dropped when Rt. french door closed and contacted back of my right hand. Was using potholders at the time. Oven temperature was at 350 degrees at the time. There were several other minor incidents where the doors made contact with my hands caused slight burns. This Oster (TSSTTVFDDAF-GRL-0350), Extra Large French Door Oven is brand new, less than 90 days old.
