Panasonic recalls toaster ovens over electric shock hazard
Posted on: Jul 17, 2026 19:11 IST | Posted by: Cbc
A call back has been issued for Panasonic Flashxpress wassailer Ovens sold in Canada and the U.S. Due to an electric car appal peril.
The notice applies to Flashxpress toaster ovens with model numbers NB-G205S and NB-G200SVA. Model numbers can be found on the product label on the back of the toaster oven.
The problem is with the toaster oven's power cord.
"The insulation may be insufficient because a protective fiberglass sleeve may not fully cover the cord, creating a potential risk of electric shock or fire," Panasonic said in its voluntary recall notice.
Panasonic, Health Canada and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission jointly urged consumers to immediately stop using the affected toaster ovens and return them to the company for a refund.
Consumers can visit Panasonic's recall site or call Panasonic Canada at 1-888-422-6296 for more information.
Panasonic says 2,184 of the affected products were sold in Canada, and about 11,500 in the U.S., between November 2025 and March 2026.
As of June 15, Health Canada says the company hasn't received notice of any injuries related to the power cord issue in Canada. In the U.S., Panasonic has five reports of circuit breakers tripping related to the toaster ovens, but no injuries.
