NEWARK, N.J., July 17 (Nationwide Times) — Panasonic is recalling about 11,480 electric toaster ovens in the U.S. and 2,184 in Canada after regulators said the power cord insulation may be insufficient, creating shock and fire hazards for shoppers who bought the model online.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the recall covers Panasonic model NB-G200 units sold on Amazon.com, Costco.com, Panasonic.com and other online platforms nationwide from October 2024 through April 2026 for about $170.
The agency said it has received four reports of tripped circuit breakers or outlets and one report that the product stopped working. No fires or injuries have been reported.
Panasonic Corporation of North America told Costco members that records show some buyers purchased Item #2024930 between February 2026 and April 2026. The company said consumers may return the ovens to Panasonic for a refund or to a Costco Warehouse Customer Service Window for a full refund.
The recalled ovens are stainless steel, with the Panasonic name on the front and the temperature knob on the bottom. Panasonic told customers to stop using the product immediately.
