Federal Recall Targets Door-Closing Burn Hazard
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the federal agency that polices the safety of household goods, announced the recall on Thursday, November 5. The problem is the oven’s two spring-loaded glass “French doors,” which open from the middle like a pair of cabinet doors. Officials said the doors can swing shut when bumped, trapping a hand or wrist against hot glass and metal while someone is pulling food out.
The numbers show the danger is real. According to the recall notice, Gourmia has received 57 reports of the doors closing unexpectedly, and 40 of those people were burned on the hands or wrists. About 175,951 units are covered. The ovens were made in China and imported by The Steelstone Group LLC, which does business as Gourmia, of Brooklyn, New York.
What Owners Should Do
First, check whether you own one. The recalled oven is stainless steel with two glass front doors and metal handles. The model number GTF7530 and a date code from 3021 to 0126 are printed on a label on the back of the unit. The model number and the UPC code, 810002862779, are also on the box.
If your oven matches, stop using it right away. Contact Gourmia at 888-834-0092, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., or go to gourmia.com/recall.asp. You can also visit Gourmia.com and click “Recall Information” at the top of the page. Gourmia will mail a free repair kit with an added doorstop and step-by-step instructions to install it at home. You do not need to ship the oven back. Federal law also bars anyone from reselling a recalled product, so do not pass it along at a yard sale or online.
If someone in your home has already been burned by the oven, a doctor or urgent care clinic can check the injury, even if it seems small.
Why Recall Follow-Through Matters
A recall only protects the families who act on it. In a federal review of 21 recalls, an average of 33 percent of products sold to consumers were returned or repaired. That means many recalled items stay in kitchens long after the warning goes out. For this oven, the fix is free and arrives by mail, so the only cost of acting is a phone call.
This is not the first Gourmia safety warning in 2026. On February 24, federal safety officials warned consumers to stop using certain Gourmia pressure cookers because of a serious burn hazard, after multiple burn injuries were reported. Those were a different product, but both cases come down to the same thing: hot food and a part that did not behave as promised.
Kitchen Safety, Family Values, and Accountability
Parents, grandparents and busy workers count on kitchen tools that work the way they should. A door that slams on a wrist over a hot tray is not a small thing. Burns can keep a cook off the job and hurt kids who help at the counter. The remedy here is simple and costs nothing: stop using the oven, call Gourmia and install the doorstop when it arrives.
When a company sells a product with a hazard, it should make it right, and owners do their part by answering the call. Check the label on the back of your oven, and pass the word to family members who may have bought one at Target in the last five years.
