Bodum has recalled about 2,400 Bistro Toasters in the U.S. and an additional 1,480 in Canada. The stainless steel toasters, available in two-slice and four-slice models, were sold at Crate & Barrel and Amazon.com between September 2018 and June 2019. This recall was initiated because the products can leak electric current during use, creating a danger of electrical shock. While no injuries have been reported in the U.S., eight consumers in Canada reported being shocked while using the toaster. Consumers should immediately stop using these toasters and return them for a full refund.
The toaster's electrical components can leak current when the device reaches its maximum normal operating temperature. This creates a high risk of electric shock for anyone who touches the toaster while it is plugged in.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled toasters and return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund or contact Bodum to receive a prepaid mailer to return the toaster for a full refund.
