### **⚠️ Unplug This Appliance Before Bed to Avoid a Fire Risk**
**Stop leaving your air fryer or toaster oven plugged in overnight—it could be a fire hazard.**
While these kitchen gadgets are convenient, they can pose serious risks if left connected to power when not in use. Here’s why:
- **Overheating & Electrical Faults:** Even when turned off, some air fryers and toaster ovens can overheat due to poor wiring or low-quality components.
- **Power Surges & Short Circuits:** A faulty outlet or sudden voltage spike could trigger an electrical fire—especially with older or cheaper models.
- **Increased Risk While Unattended:** Fires can start silently at night, giving you less time to react.
**🔎 Other High-Risk Appliances to Watch:**
- Electric kettles
- Coffee makers
- Older microwaves
However, recent reports highlight **air fryers and toaster ovens** as particularly concerning due to a rise in incidents.
**✅ Safety Tip:** Make it a habit to unplug these devices after use—or use a surge protector for added security.
