Wolfgang Puck Toaster Oven Recall: Fire and Injury Risk

Wolfgang Puck toaster oven/toasters have been recalled by the manufacturer, Kingpower Electrical Appliances of China, and the importer, Frontgate of West Chester, Ohio, due to possible fire and resulting injuries or death.

The Wolfgang Puck toaster oven recall involves about 1,500 toaster oven/toasters that can remain “on” after the toast pops up, posing a fire and injury risk. There have been three reports of the toaster remaining on after the toast popped up. No injuries have been reported. This does not mean that there have not been injuries because often injuries are not reported.
