June 24, 1991 Release # 91-087 Low return rate prompts second notice: Toastmaster Toasters Recalled Because Of Potential Fire, Burn, And Shock Hazards WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Because of a low return rate after the first recall notice a year ago, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Toastmaster Inc. of Columbia, MO, are renewing their warning to owners of Toastmaster Model D126T electric toasters. Some toasters have a defective switch that could allow the heating elements to continue operating after the toasting cycle which may create a fire, contact burn, or severe electric shock hazard. Only seven percent of the potentially 8,857 hazardous toasters have been returned in the past year. Toastmaster said its Model D126T electric toaster features a chrome case with a black-and-silver nameplate. The Toastmaster brand name appears on the lower right-hand corner of each appliance. Manufactured in April, May and June of 1989, the toasters sold nationwide between $30 and $35 each. Consumers should check the crumb tray at the bottom of the toaster for the D126T model number and a five letter and digit date code running from EL101 through EL158. While there have been no reports of injuries or fires to date as a result of switch failure, the company is replacing these toasters because of the defective hazard posed by the switch. No other Toastmaster toasters or products are involved in the recall. Consumers having the affected toasters should unplug the appliance and contact the company for instructions on returning the unit for a new toaster. Consumers may call Toastmaster toll-free at 1-800-527-3069 or write Operations Manager, Toastmaster Inc., Second and Vine Streets, Boonville, MO 65233. CPSC learned about the defective toasters in a report provided by Toastmaster.

Edison Humidifiers Recalled by Toastmaster NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 10, 1985 Release # 85-064 Toastmaster Recalls 13,000 Edison Humidifiers Washington, D.C. -- In cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Toastmaster Inc. of Columbia, Missouri today announced the voluntary recall of approximately 13,000 'Edison Compact Tabletop Humidifiers, Models 534041B and 534042.

The product sold retail for about $40 to $45 in certain department stores, chain stores, and a variety of other retail outlets. The model no. 534042 humidifier has an almond cabinet with a pecan wood grain front panel, and the model no. 534041B humidifier has a solid chestnut brown cabinet. Both cabinets are plastic with dimensions of 16 S/8 inches by 14 inches by 8 5/8 inches. The "Edison Humidifier" label appears on the left front panel of each model.
