More Than 300,000 Toasters Recalled

More than 300,000 toasters are being recalled.

Once plugged in, the heating elements in the toasters can remain on indefinitely, posing a fire hazard.

The recall involves The Hamilton Beach brand classic chrome 2-slice toaster. They were sold at department and home center stories nationwide from February 2008 until June 2011 for about $30.

If you have one of the toasters, do not use it and call Hamilton Beach at 1-800-379-2200 for a free replacement.
