Hamilton Beach recalls about 14,000 Toasters.
When the toasters are first plugged into the outlets, the heating element can be energized although the toaster lifter is in the up or off position, which can pose a fire hazard.
This recall involves model 22602 which can be found on the bottom of the toaster.
The toaster has a chromed steel exterior, a front control panel with a rotary toast shade selector and function buttons arranged in an arc, a front removable crumb tray and "Hamilton Beach" printed below the control panel.
They were sold at Mass merchandisers and department, grocery and home center stores nationwide from August 2011 through November 2011 for between $19 and $34.
Also, some of these toasters were sent to consumers as replacements for model 22600 toasters recalled in June 2011.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled toasters and contact the firm to receive instructions on how to obtain a free replacement toaster.
