    The product, in the report: Mainstays 2.2 Quart Compact Air Fryer (Black) Model Number: MS-2-2QT-AIR-FRYER Manufacturer/Retailer: Walmart Private Label (Mainstays) Type: Electric Countertop Appliance

    The Mainstays 2.2QT Air Fryer (Model MS-2-2QT-AIR-FRYER) experienced a catastrophic thermal failure during standard operation. The unit’s external plastic housing melted, compromising the device’s structural integrity and presenting an acute fire hazard. This failure occurred despite the unit having low total usage hours. This melting defect aligns with multiple other consumer reports, indicating a systemic manufacturing flaw rather than an isolated incident.

    The product, in the report: oil-less fryer

    The consumer is reporting a safety concern. On February 22, 2023, the caller put chicken wings in her practically new oil less fryer and thought there was something on the top left side of it. She picked up her cloth and moved to wipe the side off, but her fingers caught in wires which are bare. If the unit had been turned on, she could have been shocked. She realized that what she thought was something on the unit was a hole that had been burned from the inside out by the exposed copper wiring. She unplugged the unit and removed the food.

    Product has been used possibly a couple of times per week.

    Consumer called 1 (866) 321-9509, Bentonville, Arkansas Walmart. Person answering phone offered to send her another oil-less fryer, but she declined. He then provided her with the phone number for the manufacturer (519) 896-9898 which has a voicemail identifying as GHS, Industries in Canada. The consumer left a message asking for a return call, and never receiving a call back.
