Verdict: The Cosori CS158-AF is an older smart-basket model whose recall status matters more than its presets. If your unit matches an affected model in the February 23, 2023 CPSC notice, stop using it and follow Cosori’s replacement process. We do not recommend buying an affected used or old-stock unit because it looks inexpensive.
This page covers CS158-AF and the shortened catalogue name CS158. “CS158” alone is not a complete rating-label check. Regional suffixes and the recall market must be checked against the official notice.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What kind of appliance is it? | An older single-basket Cosori smart air fryer, not a two-drawer DualZone model |

| Why was it recalled? | A wire connection can overheat and create fire and burn hazards |
| What should an affected owner do? | Stop use and register through the official Cosori recall process |
| Can I identify it by a marketplace title? | No. Read the complete model on the appliance rating label |
How to check your CS158 safely
- With the appliance unplugged and cool, read the complete model and other requested details from its rating label.
- Compare that identity with the official recall notice. Do not assume a similar exterior, colour or basket size proves eligibility.
- For an affected unit, stop cooking with it and use Cosori’s official replacement registration. Follow its current documentation and photo requirements.
- Keep any registration reference and contact the official recall support team if the result is unclear.
The CPSC says a purchase receipt is not required for the recall remedy. Use the official instructions for preparing evidence or handling the recalled appliance; do not improvise an electrical repair.
What do CS158 and CP158 mean?
The CS158-AF was sold as a smart/Wi-Fi family, while CP158-AF is the familiar Max XL non-smart family. That controls distinction is useful for identifying an old appliance, but it does not make an affected CS158 safe to keep using. Both families have model entries in the recall notice.
Check the full model in the notice rather than turning a broad family description into a universal recall claim. The CPSC notice concerns the listed products and markets; it does not establish that every Cosori air fryer worldwide is recalled.
Should you replace like for like?
Start again with the meal you want to cook. If your old basket handled one large batch, a current single-basket model may remain a better fit than two small drawers. If you needed separate temperatures for a main and a side, a divided or dual-zone model answers a different need. Neither app features nor additional preset buttons tell you how much flat cooking space your meal needs.
Before buying a replacement, confirm the current model, local voltage, warranty and available basket parts. Do not buy a 120-volt US import for a 220–240-volt kitchen merely because its litre capacity looks familiar. Keep the recall remedy and a new purchase decision separate; a recall replacement offer is administered by the manufacturer.
Owner questions
My CS158 still works. Can I finish using it?
For an affected unit, the official direction is to stop use. Normal-looking operation does not cancel the recall.
Does Wi-Fi or a replacement basket fix the recall?
No. The stated hazard concerns an electrical wire connection. App settings and a new basket do not resolve that hazard.
Where should I register?
Use Cosori’s official recall portal, reached from the manufacturer or regulator notice. Avoid third-party services asking you to pay to claim the remedy.
Choose by your kitchen and meals
Start with the Cosori model directory, then check household and meal fit, capacity and countertop space, basket types and heating layouts and buying priorities. For the closest trade-off, read CP158 versus CS158 recall and replacement.
A current US replacement option
Do not order a recalled CP158/CS158 unit as a replacement. The separately reviewed Pro Gen 2 CP168-AF is a different 5.8-quart model; match its full code and current recall status. This purchase link is for CP168-AF, not for the recalled appliance.
Different US model: See Pro Gen 2 CP168-AF (5.8 qt) price.
