Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20201227-61085-2147367176. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Cuisinart TOB-40. Source model text: TOB-40N. Incident: First received a Cuisinart Toaster Oven (intertek 3154152, Model TOB-40N, serial # 0418) for Christmas in 2019. On 1/18/2020, I was in the kitchen and saw the unit turn itself on and off several times. It was plugged in and in the toast position; however, no one was using it. I unplugged it in an effort to reset the unit, then plugged it back in. The next morning it was on again with the top of the unit being very hot. I contacted Cuisinart who replaced the unit with a new one serial number 1719 and advised me to cut the cord on the old unit and place it in the trash. On December 25, 2020, the new unit came on and off by itself multiple times. Settings were in the off position. I have a video capturing the event. This may present a potential fire hazard.
