2 million Cosori air fryers are being recalled – do you have one?

Two million Cosori air fryers are being recalled due to safety concerns. The firm is voluntarily recalling and replacing certain models of air fryer after an investigation identified that the closed-end crimp connectors within the recalled air fryers – responsible for establishing electrical connections between certain wires – can pose an increased risk of fire and burn hazards.

Cosori makes some of the best air fryers, and is one of the leading air fryer brands in the US as a result, so there are lots of these models out there. In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Health Canada, and Mexico Procuraduría Federal del Consumidor (Profeco), Cosori has announced a consumer notice. Here are the affected air fryers, and what to do if you have one.

What to do if you have a Cosori air fryer on recall?

If your Cosori air fryer is one of the above mentioned then you need to stop using it immediately.

You'll need to complete the recall registration form by inputting your model and B/N, and upload three images in order to email at CosoriRecall@Sedgwick.com, or visit cosori.com and click on the “Important Voluntary Safety Recall. Learn More” banner at the bottom of the page for more information. You can head to that page directly by clicking here.

Cosori is offering a replacement air fryer to all affected customers free of charge. Even if the air fryer isn't in a working condition or you don't have the original receipt you still claim for a replacement. And if you don't want a replacement air fryer then you can chose from a selection of other Cosori products including a kettle, toaster or pressure cooker, depending on the model of your air fryer.

To check the status of your replacement you can login with your registered email and registration number. If you have any further questions, there's the toll-free recall support hotline at 888-216-5974 Monday - Friday, 8 am - 5 pm EST that you can reach out on.

Does this mean that all Cosori air fryers are not safe?

Rest assured; you can still cook french fries in an air fryer, french toast in an air fryer and even fudgy brownies in an air fryer in a Cosori air fryer as long as it's not affected. Here's what Cosori has to say about offering this recall:

"The health and safety of COSORI users is our highest priority. All of our products are rigorously and routinely tested for consumer safety and are in full compliance with established industry standards. COSORI is committed to the safety of those who use and love our products, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience."

Windows Copilot leak suggests deeper assimilation with Windows 11 features

Key Windows 11 features may soon be customizable as Microsoft further integrates its Windows Copilot AI assistant into the operating system. This tidbit comes from tech news site Windows Latest , which claims to have discovered new .json (JavaScript Object Notation) files within recent preview builds of Windows 11. These files apparently hint at future upgrades for the desktop AI assistant. For example, a “TaskManagerService-ai-plugin.json” was found which is supposedly a “plugin for Task Manager integration”. If this ever comes out, it could give users the ability to “monitor or close running apps using” Copilot. In total, six are currently tested and they affect various aspects of Windows 11. Next, there is an “AccessbilityTools-ai-plugin.json” that gives Copilot a way to “control accessibility [tools]. This would make it "easier for those with [a] disability to navigate through the system.” Third is “ai-plugin-WindowsSettings.json” for controlling important Windows 11 set...

Samsung's ViewFinity S9 may be the monitor creatives have been searching for

Originally revealed during CES 2023 , Samsung has finally launched its ViewFinity S9 5K monitor after nine long months of waiting.  According to the announcement, the ViewFinity S9 is the company’s first-ever 5K resolution (5,120 x 2880 pixels) IPS display aimed primarily at creatives. IPS stands for in-plane switching , a form of LED tech offering some of the best color output and viewing angles on the market. This quality is highlighted by the fact that the 27-inch screen supports 99 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut plus delivers 600 nits of brightness.  Altogether, these deliver great picture quality made vibrant by saturated colors and dark shadows. The cherry on top for the ViewFinity S9 is a Matte Display coating to “drastically [reduce] light reflections.”  As a direct rival to the Apple Studio Display , the monitor is an alternative for creative professionals looking for options.
