More than 100,000 Haier Toaster Ovens/Broilers have been recalled in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, as they contain defects in the electrical connections that could result in users suffering electrical shocks or burns.

The toaster oven recall applies Haier model number RTO1400SS toaster ovens that are also broilers. They were sold by retailers throughout the United States between September 2006 and January 2009 for between $20 and $40.

Haier America Trading, L.L.C. indicates that they have received at least one report of a minor electrical shock, two reports of minor burns and one report of property damage caused by the defective toaster ovens.

It has been found that the problems could be caused by electrical connections in some of the toaster ovens/broilers are prone to come loose. Therefore, consumers have been urged to immediately stop using the toasters and to contact the manufacturer for a free replacement toaster oven with broiler feature.

The impacted units are stainless steel and black with “Haier” brinted on the front of the toaster oven. The model number can be found on a label placed on the back of the units.

Additional information can be obtained by contacting Haier America at (866) 927-4810 or visiting the firm’s website at www.haieramerica.com.

I purchased this unit online sometime in 2007. In 2009, I heard about the recall, registered online and received the envelope from them with instructions to get a replacement (i.e. cut the cord, put it in a postage-paid envelope, discard the toaster oven) 2 years later (yes, that’s right TWO YEARS later) I am still arguing with them about getting a replacement. They claim to have never received my cord. They are now asking for a receipt or for another portion of the cord. I told them we don’t keep receipts on toaster ovens for 4 years! And, as per their instructions, I discarded the toaster oven so its impossible for me to send another portion of the cord. These people are useless!

This recall may be a scam and should be investigated. I sent the necessary appliance cord and information to the Haier company on 6/4/09. Since the replacment oven did not arrive in 4 weeks, I called the comany and was told that it would be sent the following week. It never arrived, and I called 4 more times during the next three months. Each time, I was told about delays in manufacture and delays in shipping. My final call was on 9/17/09, and the customer service representative still advised me that there was a delay in manufacture, and that he could not give me any information about when I would receive the replacement oven.

Returned cord as directed in mid May, their website records it being received in mid June. After waiting weeks called recall phone number many times, each time being told new oven would be shipped within so many days. In late July, was advised by supervisor at call center that no replacement ovens would be sent to Hawaii but a check for purchase price would be mailed within so many days. Called again 11 Aug and was advised by same supervisor that check would take 30 to 45 working days from date of request. He stated that request date was 3 Aug and that he had requested it. If the company had made the decision not to ship replacements to Hawaii why didn’t they advise us when they received the cord and then we could have purchased a new oven. We have done so now but are very unhappy to have to wait until late Sept or Oct for the refund. If indeed, they EVER send a check. We no longer believe the company and will never purchase another item manufactured by them.
