Before you start making breakfast, you may want to take a look at your toaster. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a widespread recall due to a power cord defect. Here’s what to know.
Which Toaster Oven Is Recalled?
The July 16 recall applies to all Panasonic Electric Toaster Ovens with the model number NB-G200. With this particular unit, the model number is located on the nameplate label on the back of the oven.
According to the CPSC’s announcement, the affected appliances were manufactured by Panasonic in Xiamen, China, then imported to Panasonic’s North American headquarters in Newark, New Jersey. From there, the toasters were sold at Amazon.com, Costco.com, Panasonic.com, and other online retailers for about $170. The recalled units were sold from October 2024 through April 2026.
In the United States, about 11,480 units are impacted by this recall, with an additional 2,184 sold in Canada.
Why Was The Toaster Oven Recalled?
The affected toaster ovens are being recalled due to a power cord defect. The protective fiberglass sleeve does not adequately cover and insulate the power cord, presenting a fire hazard and the risk of electric shock. According to the recall announcement, there have been four cases of tripped circuit breakers and outlets, and one other report that the product stopped working entirely.
What Should I Do If I Have The Recalled Toaster Oven?
If you happen to own one of these toaster ovens, the CPSC says to immediately stop using it and contact Panasonic for a full refund. In the meantime, it’s recommended that you keep the product unplugged and store it away from children, pets, and any flammable materials.
To seek a refund, customers can check Panasonic’s website for more details. Proof of purchase is not required to be eligible for the refund. Once your refund request is verified and your defective toaster oven is returned to Panasonic’s third-party partner, you should expect to receive your refund within six to eight weeks.
