Urgent Safety Alert: Sunbeam Recalls Over 1.2 Million Oster Ovens Due to Burn Hazard

Imagine a kitchen appliance designed to simplify your cooking routine suddenly becoming a silent threat. That's the grave reality facing over 1.2 million households as Sunbeam Products issues a critical safety recall for its popular Oster Digital French Door Ovens. A significant burn and fire hazard has been identified, prompting an urgent call for consumers to cease using these ovens at once.

The danger stems from a design flaw where liquid, such as water or food spills, can seep into the oven's internal components and reach the power cord connection.

This unwanted contact can lead to electrical shorting, arcing, and in severe cases, even ignite fires, posing a serious risk of burns and property damage to both users and their homes.

This massive recall, announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in conjunction with Sunbeam, impacts more than 1.2 million units sold across the United States, along with an additional 8,850 units distributed in Canada.

The affected models include the Oster Digital French Door Oven with the model numbers TSSTTVFDDG, TSSTTVFDDFL, and TSSTTVFDDB. Consumers can locate the model number on a label affixed to the back of the oven.

While no injuries have been reported to date, the urgency of this recall is underscored by at least six documented incidents of electrical shorting, arcing, and fires, resulting in minor property damage.

These reports highlight the very real potential for serious harm if the issue is not addressed swiftly.

Sunbeam Products is unequivocally urging all owners of these specific Oster Digital French Door Ovens to immediately stop using them. Your safety is paramount, and continued use could put you and your household at risk.

To receive a full refund, affected consumers must contact Sunbeam Products directly.
