September 25, 2025: CPSC Announces Recall

The CPSC announced the recall of about 1,290,000 Oster French Door Countertop Ovens, jointly with Health Canada and Sunbeam Products Inc. [6]. The remedy is a free repair kit. CPSC says the ovens were sold from August 2015 through July 2025 for $140 to $250. Oster’s recall site states that it initiated the recall the same day [7].

Which Oster French Door Countertop Ovens Are Affected?

Three sources list model numbers for these Oster French Door Countertop Ovens:

• CPSC lists four models of the Oster French Door Countertop Oven: TSSTTVFDXL, TSSTTVFDDG, TSSTTVFDMAF and TSSTTVFDDAF.
• Oster’s recall site lists seven SKU numbers: TSSTTVFDXL, TSSTTVFDDG, TSSTTVFDMAF, TSSTTVFDDGDS, TSSTTVFDDAF-033, TSSTTVFDXLPP-033 and TSSTTVFDDAF.
• Health Canada lists five models for the Canadian recall: TSSTTVFDXL, TSSTTVFDDGDS, TSSTTVFDDG-033, TSSTTVFDXLPP-033 and TSSTTVFDDAF-033.

CPSC says a label on the back of the oven identifies the model number, and the original packaging does too. Oster says the sticker is on the back or bottom of the appliance. Oster says the word Oster is engraved on the front bottom right or top right of the oven. For US models, Oster says to disregard any numbers that follow the letters. The four CPSC models differ in cooking options, such as an air fryer, and in controls, which are analog dials or digital push-button controls.

Why Were the Oster French Door Countertop Ovens Recalled?

The Oster French Door Countertop Ovens were recalled because the oven’s doors can unexpectedly close, posing a burn hazard to consumers, according to CPSC. The recalled ovens have a spring-loaded bilateral door made of glass with metal handles. Oster describes two side-by-side doors that open outward rather than one pull-down door. Oster’s recall site says the recall was announced because the doors can close on consumers. Neither CPSC nor Oster states a cause beyond the doors unexpectedly closing. The repair kit adds a clip-on device that provides additional holding force to help keep the doors open when a person reaches into the oven, CPSC says.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

CPSC states that Sunbeam Products Inc. has received 95 reports of the doors unexpectedly closing, resulting in burn injuries to consumers. Two of those are reports of second-degree burns. Oster’s recall site gives the manufacturer’s own account: out of more than 1.2 million units in use, 93 consumers reported minor burns that did not need medical treatment and two reported seeking medical attention for second-degree burns. Health Canada’s notice also gives 95 reports in the United States, the same count that CPSC states. These reports are not proof that the ovens caused each of the burns or injuries they describe.

What Should Consumers Do?

If you own one of these ovens, take these steps:

1. Check your oven’s model number against the models listed above, or enter it in the lookup on Oster’s recall site.
2. Stop using the oven. CPSC says to do so immediately, while Oster asks owners to wait until the device has arrived and been installed.
3. Contact Sunbeam Products Inc. at 800-334-0759 toll free, or visit https://recall.oster.com, to request a free repair kit.
4. Call hours differ by source: CPSC lists 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, while Oster’s recall site starts at 9 a.m. ET.
5. Install the kit yourself when it arrives. It includes a clip-on device, repair instructions and a QR code link to an installation video.
6. Report a dangerous product or injury at SaferProducts.gov, or call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 (TTY 800-638-8270).

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

Legal Options

Court records show at least two class action complaints over these ovens, Klein and Elwood. Klein is open, and its docket shows no termination date through its latest entry on May 18, 2026. The Klein complaint alleges violation of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and unjust enrichment. These are allegations, not findings. As of August 3, 2026, the JPML report lists no MDL for these ovens [8]. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation.
