Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20150307-11A99-2147434774. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Cuisinart TOB-40. Incident: This incident involves our Cuisinart toaster oven, model number TOB-40 120 VAC 80 Hz 1800 W. On Thursday, February 19, 2015, while we were toasting bread, one of the bottom heating elements caught fire without any apparent cause. There was nothing touching the element when it ignited. I quickly shut off the toaster and unplugged it, and the flame slowly dissipated. The heating element is now deformed (bubbled). We have not used the toaster since. This is a major product safety hazard because, not only because of the spontaneous fire, but the speed at which it occurred. Had I not been standing right at the toaster, I would not have been able to put it out. Please look into this product.
