A safety recall has been initiated for Panasonic Flashxpress Toaster Ovens in the U.S. and Canada due to a potential electric shock hazard. The affected toaster ovens are identified by model numbers NB-G205S and NB-G200SVA, which can be located on the product label at the back of the appliance. The issue stems from a concern with the power cord, where inadequate insulation could pose a risk of electric shock or fire.
Panasonic, in cooperation with Health Canada and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, is advising consumers to cease using the impacted toaster ovens immediately and return them to the company for a refund. To obtain more information, consumers can access Panasonic’s recall site online or contact Panasonic Canada at 1-888-422-6296.
According to Panasonic, approximately 2,184 units of the affected toaster ovens were sold in Canada and around 11,500 in the U.S. between November 2025 and March 2026. Health Canada has reported no injuries linked to the power cord issue as of June 15. In the U.S., Panasonic has received five reports of circuit breakers tripping in relation to the toaster ovens, but no injuries have been reported.
