The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission issued the recalls for the air fryer after discovering the product presents a risk of burn injuries.
It was discovered that when the product is used for prolonged periods on the highest heat setting, the heating element can cause the outer plastic casing to warp or melt.
This may result in burn injuries if touched and presents a potential fire hazard.
The brand is Haden. The SKU is 387933.
All batch numbers are affected.
There are approximately 52 affected products in the Republic of Ireland.
Consumers who own the air fryer are urged to discontinue use immediately.
They return it to any The Range store for a full refund or store credit.
Those who want further information regarding this recall are encouraged to contact The Range customer care team on the website.
The spokesperson for The Range said: “The safety and satisfaction of our customers is important to us, and we wish to thank you for your cooperation and apologise for any inconvenience.”
Separately, the Utskho Suneli spice mix is being recalled due to elevated levels of ethylene oxide, as health bosses warn that its continued use over a long period may be linked to “health issues.”
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued the advisory about a batch of Utskho Suneli.
The product identification is Utskho Suneli in a pack size of 50g with the best before date of September 20, 2026.
A spokesperson for the FSAI said: “The above batch of Utskho Suneli spice mix is being recalled due to the presence of elevated levels of ethylene oxide.
“Although the consumption of the contaminated batch does not pose an acute risk to health, there may be health issues if there is continued consumption of ethylene oxide over a long period of time.
“Therefore, exposure to this substance needs to be minimised. Recall notices will be displayed at point-of-sale.”
Retailers are requested to remove the implicated batch from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale.
Consumers are advised not to eat the implicated batch.
