Panasonic has recalled about 11,480 NB-G200 toaster ovens in the U.S. (2,184 in Canada) due to a potentially defective fiberglass sleeve that can leave the power cord insulation exposed, creating a shock or fire risk. The CPSC announced the recall on July 16, 2026; affected units were sold online from October 2024 through April 2026 for roughly $170. Panasonic is offering full refunds (reportedly no proof of purchase required); refunds should arrive six to eight weeks after return. Owners should stop using and unplug the oven immediately and contact Panasonic at 888-943-2391 or via the company recall page.

Panasonic has recalled about 11,480 NB-G200 electric toaster ovens sold in the United States (plus 2,184 units in Canada) after a defective protective sleeve may leave the power cord insulation exposed, creating a risk of electric shock or fire. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on July 16, 2026.
What’s the Problem?
According to Panasonic and the CPSC, a fiberglass sleeve that is supposed to protect the toaster oven’s power cord may not fully cover the cord’s insulation. If the insulation is exposed, the cord could create an electrical short, electric shock or a potential fire hazard while the appliance is in use.

What Owners Should Do
- Stop using the toaster oven immediately and unplug it from the outlet.
