The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling Wolfgang Puck toaster oven/toasters because of a fire hazard.

The toaster oven can remain “on” after the toast pops up, posing a fire hazard. The importer, Frontgate of West Chester, Ohio, has received three reports of the toaster remaining on. No injuries have been reported.

The recalled toasters have model No. WPTOT010 and date code 3608 or 3908 on an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) label, which is affixed to the back of the unit. The black and silver toasters have “Wolfgang Puck” stamped on the lower front right corner.

They feature a silver handle on the oven door, three black knobs for controlling cooking, and a black push-down lever for toasting. Two slots for toasting bread and similar products are located on the top of the toaster. Toasters with model No. BTOT0010 or WPTOT010, and date codes 0207, 0407, 0607, 0807, 4508, or 0309 are not included in this recall.

About 1,500 of the toasters were sold by Frontgate catalogues in the United States from November 2008 through March 2009 for about $100 each.

Consumers should stop using the recalled toaster/toaster ovens immediately and contact W.P. Appliances for instructions on returning them for free replacements. All known purchasers have been notified directly by mail.
