US — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall on July 16, 2026, for Panasonic Electric Toaster Ovens with Model No. NB-G200. The action addresses a safety defect that poses risks to consumers who own the appliances.

Panasonic recalled 11,480 units in the US and 2,184 units in Canada. The agency determined the power cord insulation may be insufficient due to a protective fiberglass sleeve not covering it adequately, posing a risk of electric shock and fire. Panasonic Manufacturing (Xiamen) Co., Ltd. of Xiamen, Fujian, China, is the manufacturer of the recalled units.

The stainless steel ovens feature digital temperature settings, a timer, six cooking menus with pre-set buttons, and a temperature knob on the bottom. Consumers can identify affected units by locating the model number on the nameplate label on the back of the electric toaster oven.

The recalled ovens were sold online via Amazon, Costco, Panasonic, and other platforms from October 2024 through April 2026 for approximately $170. The specific defect involving insufficient power cord insulation due to an improperly applied fiberglass sleeve has been identified in 3 prior appliance recalls by Panasonic since 2018, according to CPSC filings.

There have been four reports of tripped circuit breakers or outlets and one report of a toaster oven stopping working. No fires or injuries have been reported in connection with the recalled toaster ovens. The Consumer Product Safety Commission, a United States government agency established in 1972, issued this recall under the authority of the Consumer Product Safety Act.

Customers are urged to stop using the recalled ovens immediately and contact Panasonic at 1-888-943-2391 or visit Panasonic.com for a full refund and free return kit. The CPSC’s 2026 recall of 11,480 units marks the 12th product recall involving Panasonic appliances since 2015, according to CPSC public records. In Canada, the same product line was recalled on June 15, 2026, for the same electric shock hazard.

The recall affects thousands of households that purchased the appliances through major online retailers over an 18-month period. The defect presents a tangible risk of electric shock and fire, prompting immediate cessation of use. The involvement of multiple retail platforms, including Amazon and Costco, indicates broad distribution of the affected model.

Regulatory action by the Consumer Product Safety Commission ensures that consumers receive a full refund and a free return kit. The cross-border nature of the recalls in both the United States and Canada shows a coordinated safety response. This incident adds to a history of product safety actions involving the manufacturer, with this marking the 12th recall for Panasonic appliances since 2015.
