If you own one of these air fryers, please stop using it immediately and contact the manufacturer, who is offering a $50 credit or the purchase amount if higher (receipt is required for the higher amount). The credit can only be applied to purchases made on newair.com.

-
Take pictures of any visible injuries with your phone or another electronic device. In addition, capture images of the accident scene, including the damaged product.

-
Seek treatment from a medical center right away, even if your injuries don’t seem that serious. Keep in mind that you will need medical records to file an accident claim.

Notify Newair of the harm you’ve suffered, but say no if they offer you a credit or refund, or ask you to return the product.

Contact an experienced accident injury lawyer, who can help you initiate the legal process.
Is There a Class Action Lawsuit on this Case?
Class action lawsuits typically follow a product recall, as it’s likely that many people have been injured in the same way by a specific item. Sometimes, there are many different injuries resulting from the same product, which would allow the victims to file a mass tort. Then again, it may be beneficial to file a personal injury claim by yourself, which are all options that you can explore with one of our attorneys. Just give us a call and schedule a free case review to learn how you can seek damages from a recalled air fryer injury case.
