The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reported through a statement on its official website about the recall of at least 11,000 Panasonic brand electric toaster ovens due to a defect that may pose a risk of fire or electric shock.

According to the CPSC statement published on July 16, the recalled product would have been sold in retail stores such as Costco and Amazon, among others, in their physical stores and websites.

In the alert, the agency detailed that the power cable of the electric toaster oven model NB-G200 was defective, since the protective fiberglass sheath did not adequately cover it, causing insufficient insulation and representing a risk to users.

In addition, it indicated that these appliances were sold in both the United States and Canada between October 2024 and April 2026, for prices reaching $170 each.

Although no cases of injuries or fires have been reported so far, the CPSC highlighted that there have been some reports in which users indicated that their items stopped working and that circuit breakers or plugs tripped when plugged in.

Therefore, the agency recommends stopping using the product and returning it to the store where you purchased it for a refund. For more information, you can contact Panasonic at 888-943-2391 Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), or email Panasonic6895@sedgwick.com.
