Overview

• On July 10 the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission formally recalled almost 60,000 Tower air fryers sold in Ireland between 2020 and 2024.
• The recall covers five specific models—T17023, T17061BLK, T17067, T17087 and T17129L Vortx 8L Dual Basket Air Fryer—identified with the defect.
• Regulators say the faulty wiring can cause the appliances to overheat and potentially ignite, risking injury or property damage.

• Consumers are advised to unplug affected appliances and contact Tower Housewares by email or through its website to arrange a refund or replacement.
