How do you know that it's only stupid things causing issues? It appears they heat above the level they should or are engineered to take safely. Likely internal stuff.
This was the reason I stuck to the Insignia line.. the rest all seemed to be a single basket
Because no one wants to handle your old used air fryer.
if anyone reads specifically what the flaw was, i'd really like to know what it was.
my guess is fires are cause by stupid people loading it up or running it too long.

I had the same complaint, but apparently the problem is that we're poor, not the way BB is handling this 👀

...With that said - Insignia does have a 1-year warranty on all products. Since Insignia is a Best Buy brand, all warranties need to be handled by Geek Squad in-store. If you purchased the air fryer within the last 365 days, you should be able to go into the store, bring it to geek squad and let them determine the best resolution.
In the past, when the metal screws came off into the basket of my air fryer (apparently a common problem) they let me just grab another one. I don't know if the process will be any different now.. I assume that if you go in to get it replaced under safety/recall... they'll tell you to mail it back. If you have any other issues with it (whatever they may be), they might be willing to swap it out for another model on the spot, for those not wanting to deal with the full recall process. YMMV
