An urgent product recall has been issued over air fryers sold in Tesco, Argos and B&M which 'could catch fire'. 

The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has issued the warning for Tower Air Fryers over concerns that the product will overheat and ignite during use. 

The website claimed that the affected products were manufactured between January 2022 and April 2023.
