A safety alert has been issued for Panasonic Flashxpress Toaster Ovens that were distributed in the United States and Canada due to a potential electric shock risk. The recall specifically covers Flashxpress toaster ovens with model numbers NB-G205S and NB-G200SVA, which can be located on the product label positioned on the back of the toaster oven.
The concern revolves around the power cord of the toaster oven. Panasonic stated in its voluntary recall notice that there might be inadequate insulation as a protective fiberglass sleeve may not fully encase the cord, leading to a possible electric shock or fire hazard.
Panasonic, Health Canada, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission have jointly advised consumers to discontinue the use of the affected toaster ovens immediately and return them to the company for a refund. For additional information, consumers can visit Panasonic’s recall website or contact Panasonic Canada at 1-888-422-6296.
According to Panasonic, approximately 2,184 of the impacted products were sold in Canada, and around 11,500 were sold in the U.S. from November 2025 to March 2026. As of June 15, Health Canada has not received any injury reports related to the power cord issue in Canada. In the United States, Panasonic has received five reports of circuit breakers tripping in connection to the toaster ovens, but no injuries have been reported.
