Panasonic toaster oven recall expands to Costco Canada
Entities: Panasonic Canada Inc. · Health Canada · Costco Canada · Alfa Croissants · Cadbury Dairy Milk Oreo
Overview
In mid‑July 2026 Panasonic began recalling its NB‑G200 electric toaster ovens sold in the United States and Canada after safety agencies identified a faulty power‑cord insulation that could cause electric shock or fire. The first notice covered more than 13,000 units, urging owners to stop use, unplug the appliances and return them for a full refund. A week later, a follow‑up notice clarified that 11,480 units were affected in the U.S. and 2,184 in Canada, adding details that the ovens were imported from China, priced around $170, and featured a fiberglass sleeve that may not adequately protect the cord. No injuries or fires have been reported.
On 29 July 2026 Costco Canada announced a voluntary recall of a Panasonic NB‑G205 toaster oven, citing the same power‑cord insulation defect. Health Canada advised consumers to stop using the oven immediately and return it for a full refund. The Costco notice also listed unrelated food product recalls, but the Panasonic oven recall aligns with the earlier Panasonic safety actions.
