Gourmia GTF2440

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260806-36B07-2147312781. Severity: No Incident, No Injury. Product: Gourmia GTF2440 (Gourmia French Door 6 Slice Digital Toaster Oven Air Fryer, 24L, stainless steel, 1700W, with digital controls and two front French doors. The appliance includes an air fry basket, oven rack, baking pan, and crumb tray). Incident: On August 6, 2026, I was using my Gourmia GTF2440 Digital Air Fryer Oven. I purchased it new from Walmart on July 20, 2026, only 17 days earlier. I was cooking one brat in the air fry basket with the baking and drip trays installed underneath to catch drippings. I briefly went downstairs to get a hair tie. When I returned, the appliance was actively on fire and flames were coming from the bottom of the unit. I was able to stop the fire before it spread to my countertop, cabinets, or home. The lower interior of the appliance was heavily burned and covered in soot. No one was injured, but I am extremely concerned that a nearly new appliance caught fire during normal use and could have caused a serious house fire. I have photographs of the damage and have preserved the appliance in its condition after the fire. I reported the incident to Gourmia and was given incident number [REDACTED].
