A popular toaster sold at Spotlight stores in Australia and New Zealand has been recalled over concerns it could electrocute customers.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission published a safety warning today stating the Bodum Bistro Stainless Steel 2 Slice Toaster has a fluctuating voltage issue that may cause electrical shock.
An electric shock can occur if the customer touches the inside heating element of the toaster when it is plugged into the power supply and the control lever is not triggered and remains in the upper position.
