Best Buy is voluntarily recalling 187,400 Insignia brand air fryers and air fryer ovens sold nationwide because they can cause fire, burn and laceration hazards, according to a recall notice.

Why it matters: There have been 24 reports of "overheating/melting or glass shattering, including six reports of air fryers catching on fire," the notice posted on the Consumer Product Safety Commission website said.

No injuries or property damage have been reported, the recall said.
About 99,900 Insignia products sold in Canada are also being recalled.

Flashback: In December, around 319,000 air fryers sold at Target, Walmart and Kohl's nationwide were recalled for a burn risk.
