around the heating element tends to accumulate food oil splatter which
i image could ignite if enough of it builds into a mass up there.

that strong heating element is relatively low to the food
but that's exactly what i like about this air fryer, and
i know not to overload it for this very reason.
now i'm really curious to see how other (not under recall) units
deal with the element proximity and splatter accumulation.
i'm off to some mall showroom to take a closer look.
I'd have to say yes
