Canada Panasonic toaster recall: Costco, Amazon warned

Canada Panasonic toaster recall: Costco, Amazon warned

The Canada Panasonic toaster recall covers Model NB-G200 electric toaster ovens sold in the U.S. and Canada after inadequate power-cord insulation raised shock and fire risks. About 11,480 U.S. units and 2,184 Canadian units are affected; stop using the oven and contact Panasonic for a full refund.

Federal safety regulators and Panasonic announced the recall on July 16, 2026, urging Costco, Amazon, and other shoppers to check their kitchens right away. The issue is not a vague warning: the power cord’s protective fiberglass sleeve may not cover the insulation adequately, which can create a shock and/or fire hazard.

For readers who track household costs and consumer alerts alongside wealth hacks and passive income tips, this recall is a practical money story too—unused or unsafe appliances can waste cash, and a full refund is available if you act.

Key Takeaways

Which Panasonic toaster ovens are in the Canada Panasonic toaster recall?

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the recall involves all Panasonic Electric Toaster Ovens, Model No. NB-G200. That model number is the key identifier shoppers should look for.

The ovens are stainless steel with the temperature knob on the bottom and the Panasonic brand name on the front. They feature six cooking menus with pre-set buttons, a digital timer of up to 25 minutes, and temperature settings from 250°F to 500°F.

Consumers can verify the model by checking the nameplate label on the back of the appliance. If the label shows NB-G200, the unit is covered by the recall in both the United States and Canada.

About 11,480 units were sold in the U.S., and about 2,184 were sold in Canada, the CPSC said. Fox Business reported the same Canada Panasonic toaster recall totals and noted that notices from both U.S. and Canadian authorities urge owners to stop using the product and return it for a full refund.

Why are Costco and Amazon shoppers being warned?

Shoppers are being warned because many of the recalled ovens were sold through major retail channels that millions of households use. The CPSC says the toaster ovens were sold online at Amazon.com, Costco.com, Panasonic.com, and other online platforms nationwide from October 2024 through April 2026 for about $170.

Fox Business also reported that the appliances were sold at Costco, on Amazon, and through several other online retailers over that same period. That wide distribution is why headlines are telling Costco and Amazon customers to check their kitchens now.

The hazard is electrical. Panasonic and regulators say the power cord insulation can be insufficient because a protective fiberglass sleeve does not cover it adequately. That defect can pose a risk of electric shock and/or fire.

So far, the documented U.S. complaints are limited but serious enough to trigger action: four consumer reports of tripped circuit breakers or outlets, plus one report that the toaster oven simply stopped working. The CPSC said no fires or injuries have been reported. As of June 15, 2026, Panasonic said it had not received any reports of incidents or injuries in Canada related to the toaster.

What should you do if you own a recalled NB-G200?

Regulators and Panasonic say the same first step: stop using the recalled electric toaster oven immediately. Do not keep cooking with it while you wait for a replacement plan—the remedy is a full refund, not continued use.

Next, contact Panasonic to arrange the refund. Consumer contact options listed by the CPSC include:

NewsNation also advised consumers to stop using the toaster immediately and call Panasonic at 888-943-2391 during standard business hours for refund help. Confirm the model number on the rear nameplate before you call so the claim can be processed quickly.

Panasonic Corporation of North America, of Newark, New Jersey, is listed as the importer. The ovens were manufactured in China by Panasonic Manufacturing (Xiamen) Co., Ltd. The official U.S. recall number is 26-618.

Have any fires or injuries been reported from this recall?

No fires or injuries have been reported in connection with the recalled NB-G200 toaster ovens, according to the CPSC. That is reassuring, but it does not mean the hazard is theoretical—the agency still classifies the cord issue as a shock and fire risk and is asking owners to stop using the product.

The known U.S. incident pattern centers on electrical interruption: four reports of tripped circuit breakers or outlets, and one report that the product stopped working. In Canada, Panasonic reported no related incidents or injuries as of mid-June 2026.

Fox Business said Panasonic told Fox News Digital it had no additional information to share beyond the public recall announcement. Costco and Amazon did not immediately respond to Fox Business requests for comment.

Bottom line for U.S. and Canadian households: if your kitchen has a Panasonic NB-G200 bought between late 2024 and spring 2026 from Costco, Amazon, Panasonic’s site, or another retailer, treat the Canada Panasonic toaster recall as actionable. Unplug it, stop using it, and claim the full refund through Panasonic’s recall channels.
