Panasonic Recalls Toaster Ovens Over Safety Concerns A recall has been issued for all Panasonic Electric Toaster Ovens, model number NB-G200, due to potential safety hazards. The affected products are stainless steel units with a temperature knob located on the bottom and the brand name Panasonic displayed on the front. These ovens feature six pre-set cooking menus, a digital timer with a maximum setting of 25 minutes, and temperature controls ranging from 250 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The model number is listed on a name plate label at the back of the appliance. The recall stems from issues with the power cord insulation, which may not be adequately protected by a fiberglass sleeve. This deficiency could lead to a risk of electric shock or fire. Additionally, there have been four consumer reports of tripped circuit breakers or outlets, and one instance where the product stopped working unexpectedly. While no fires or injuries have been reported, Panasonic advises users to stop using the recalled ovens immediately and contact the company for a full refund. The recall includes approximately 11,480 units sold in the United States, with an additional 2,184 units sold in Canada. Panasonic Corporation of North America, based in Newark, New Jersey, is handling the recall. Consumers can reach the company via toll-free phone at 888-943-2391, email at Panasonic6895@sedgwick.com, or online at shop.panasonic.com/toaster-oven-recall for more information. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) oversees recalls of consumer products to mitigate risks of injury or property damage. The agency notes that such recalls are critical in preventing incidents, as consumer product-related incidents cost the nation over $1 trillion annually.#consumer_product_safety_commission #newark_new_jersey #cpsc #panasonic #panasonic_corporation_of_north_america
Panasonic Recalls Over 13,000 Toaster Ovens Over Shock and Fire Hazards Panasonic has issued a recall for more than 13,000 electric toaster ovens sold in the United States and Canada due to potential risks of electric shock and fire. The affected models, specifically the NB-G200, were found to have inadequate insulation on their power cords, which could lead to dangerous conditions. The recall includes 11,480 units sold in the U.S. and 2,184 units sold in Canada. The toaster ovens were sold between October 2024 and April 2026 at major retailers such as Costco, Amazon, and other online platforms. The product was priced around $170 during its sale period. Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the recalled appliances and contact Panasonic for a full refund. Both the U.S. government and Canadian authorities have issued warnings urging users to discontinue use of the product. Panasonic’s statement to Fox News Digital noted that the power cord’s insulation may not be fully protected by a fiberglass sleeve, creating a risk of electrical shock or fire. The company emphasized that it had no additional information to share beyond the details provided in the public recall announcement. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reported that four consumers had contacted them about the toaster ovens tripping circuit breakers or outlets, while a fifth reported the appliance simply stopped working. However, as of June 15, 2026, Panasonic stated it had not received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the product in Canada. Consumers are encouraged to verify ownership by checking the model number on the nameplate label located on the back of the appliance. Panasonic’s recall efforts include coordinating with retailers to ensure affected units are removed from shelves and returned for refunds.#amazon #consumer_product_safety_commission #costco #panasonic #nbg200
