Viking Recalls Toasters

Consumer Reports of Shocks Prompts Recall

About 10,000 Viking Range 4-Slice electric toasters are being recalled because the wiring inside the toaster can become loose and contact the toaster body, posing a shock hazard to consumers.

To date, Viking has received 5 reports from consumers who experienced minor shock when touching the outside of the toaster.

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.
