SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260815-CEF44-2147312395. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Cosori Turboblaze airfryer CAF-DC601-KUS (Product Description: Cosori TurboBlaze 6.0-Quart Air Fryer Model Number: CAF-DC601-KUS Date of Incident: August 14th 2026 Description of Hazard: While operating the air fryer, the appliance completed its normal cooking cycle. I removed the basket to retrieve the food. Approximately five minutes later, the unit experienced a catastrophic safety failure. The control panel displayed error code "E01" (indicating an internal temperature sensor/thermistor failure). Instead of shutting down safely upon detecting this sensor error, the appliance experienced a runaway heating event. The internal heating coils turned red hot while unattended, and the unit began pumping out large volumes of thick smoke accompanied by a heavy, burning plastic smell as internal components melted. This occurred while the basket was completely removed from the unit. The appliance failed to cut power to the heating element despite the cycle being finished and a critical sensor error occurring. I had to manually pull the power plug to stop the thermal runaway. This is a severe fire hazard that nearly resulted in a house fire and could have caused serious injury or death had I left the kitchen. Immediate federal investigation is requested to determine if this model requires a safety recall. [REDACTED]).
