A popular small kitchen appliance has been recalled for a strange and dangerous issue that could lead to burns. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that Sunbeam Products has announced the Oster French Door Countertop Ovens have a failure where the doors just close on their own which can lead to burns by unsuspecting individuals who are reaching in the oven.

Nearly 1.3 million of these ovens have been sold and Sunbeam reports there have been 95 complaints of people being burned, and two of those victims suffered second degree burns. These ovens were sold between 2015 and 2025 at Walmart, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Costco as well as popular online outlets Amazon.com and Overstock.com.
