Panasonic Toaster Oven Recall: What You Need to Know

What Happened?

Panasonic has recalled one of its toaster ovens in the United States and Canada. This means they are asking people to stop using it and bring it back. Why? Because the company found that the appliance (that’s just a fancy word for a machine you use at home) could give someone an electric shock or even start a fire.

How Many Were Recalled?

• 11,480 Panasonic Model No. NB-G200 Electric Toaster Ovens were sold in the U.S.
• 2,184 of the same model were sold in Canada.

That’s a total of over 13,000 toaster ovens!

Why Is It Dangerous?

Panasonic says the power cord (the cable that plugs into the wall) does not have enough protection. Inside the cord, there is supposed to be a special fiberglass sleeve (think of it like a safety jacket) that covers the wires. In these toaster ovens, that sleeve did not cover the cord well enough.

Important Point: Because the cord isn’t properly covered, it can cause a risk of electric shock (getting zapped) and/or a fire hazard (something catching on fire).

When and Where Was It Sold?

From October 2024 to April 2026, the toaster oven was sold for about $170 at places like:

• Costco
• Amazon
• Several other online stores

How Do You Know If You Have the Recalled One?

You can check if your toaster oven is the recalled model by looking at the nameplate label on the back of the appliance. That label shows the model number. If it says NB-G200, it is part of the recall.

What Should You Do?

The U.S. government and Canada have both said:

Important Point: Stop using the product immediately and return it to Panasonic for a full refund.

Here are the steps to follow:

1. Unplug the toaster oven and stop using it right away.
2. Look at the back of the oven to find the model number on the nameplate label.
3. If it is Model No. NB-G200, contact Panasonic to return it.
4. Get your full refund from Panasonic.

Were There Any Problems Reported?

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (a group that watches out for unsafe products) said they got:

• 4 reports of the toaster oven tripping circuit breakers or outlets (that means the power suddenly cut off).
• 1 report of the toaster simply stopping working.

As of June 15, 2026, Panasonic said they had not received any reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.

Panasonic also told Fox News Digital that they had no extra information to share beyond the public recall announcement.

What Did the Stores Say?

Costco and Amazon were asked for a comment by FOX Business but did not respond right away.
