SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20190624-98A24-2147380310. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Breville Smart Oven Pro Model BOV845 BSS, batch 2136. Source model text: BOV845BSS. Incident: During the last couple of weeks, the GFCI on the circuit for this toaster over had tripped. On this particular date, 06/22/2019, while using the toaster over, a large amount of sparks came out of the vent on the right side of the appliance. This caused the circuit breaker to trip. It was a frightening experience as I was standing right next to the toaster oven and saw the sparks. I have left the device unplugged since and am waiting to return it to the manufacturer.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20240201-E950C-2147341321. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Breville Smart Oven Pro Model BOV845 BSS, batch 2136 (Breville Smart Oven Pro Model BOV845 BSS, batch 2136. This is a convection toaster oven.). Incident: Breville Smart Oven Pro Model BOV845 BSS batch #2136. This toaster oven tripped our kitchen GFI twice within 3 weeks. After the second tripping of the GFI, I used a voltmeter and determined that the outer case of the Breville was fully electrified, and, as I understand it, would have delivered a shock to myself or my wife if it weren't for the GFI. I returned the product to Breville, who examined it and wrote back: "During the inspection, our technicians discovered unforeseen damage that was not initially evident. This required additional materials and labor to address properly. Even after doing so, safety concerns were still evident and resulted in unrepairable scenario of your unit." In other words, it seems that this Breville product was so dangerous that even Breville's own technicians said they couldn't fix it.
