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 an insulation problem in the power cord could create shock and fire hazards for shoppers.
The voluntary recall covers Panasonic model NB-G200 toaster ovens, which are stainless steel units with the temperature knob on the bottom and the Panasonic brand name on the front, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
The ovens were sold online through Amazon.com, Costco.com, Panasonic.com and other websites nationwide from October 2024 through April 2026 for about $170, according to the agency.
Panasonic Corporation of North America is the importer named in the recall notice. The company said the fiberglass sleeve that protects the cord may not fully cover it, leaving the insulation insufficient.
The CPSC 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, the agency said.
Costco’s member recall letter said records show some members bought Item #2024930, Panasonic Model NB-G200 Electric Toaster Oven, between February 2026 and April 2026.
The letter told customers to stop using the product immediately and said they may return it either to Panasonic for a refund or to a Costco warehouse customer service window for a full refund.
