The recall involves Viking Professional 4-Slot Toasters, model numbers VT400WH, VT400BK, VT400GG, VT400SG, VT400BR and VT400CB. The toaster has a label on its underside that states in part, "Viking, UL Listed 73D3, Viking Range Corporation, Model VT400 Series".
The toasters were sold through culinary products retailers, online dealers, and Viking's web site from April 2005 through November 2008 for about $300.
