Oster Countertop Oven Recall Announced
More than 54,000 Oster French door countertop ovens are being recalled in the United States. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) made the announcement. The recall is due to a burn hazard.
The oven door can remain open slightly after use. This can cause the heating element to stay on. If something flammable is near the oven, it could catch fire. Consumers should stop using the recalled ovens immediately.
Which Ovens Are Recalled?
The recall involves specific models of the Oster French door countertop oven. The model numbers are TSSTTVFDDG and TSSTTVFDDG-001. These ovens were sold between February 2022 and April 2024. They were available at retailers nationwide and online. Retailers included Walmart, Target, and Amazon.
Details About the Burn Hazard
The CPSC reports that the oven door may not close completely. This can cause the heating element to continue operating. The oven poses a burn hazard if flammable materials are nearby.
