LAFAYETTE, La. (KPEL News) — Louisiana families who bought popular Oster countertop ovens from local Costco and Walmart stores need to stop using them right now. According to the CPSC, the oven doors can close without warning and burn people. Nearly 100 people have already been hurt.

The recall covers over 1.2 million Oster French Door Countertop Ovens sold across Louisiana from August 2015 through July 2025. According to Sunbeam Products, the company has gotten 95 reports of doors closing on people, including two second-degree burns.

What Louisiana Families Need to Know About the Recall

Check your oven’s model number if you bought it at Costco, Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Amazon, or Overstock. Four model numbers are recalled: TSSTTVFDXL, TSSTTVFDDG, TSSTTVFDMAF, and TSSTTVFDDAF.

The problem happens when the glass doors slam shut while you’re reaching into the hot oven. Your hands or arms can get trapped inside. Look for “Oster” printed on the front bottom right of your oven.

Find your model number on a label on the back of your oven or on the box it came in. All four recalled models have the same broken door problem.

If you bought your oven somewhere else, call the manufacturer for the repair kit. The company hasn’t said they’ll give refunds or replacements to customers who didn’t shop at Costco.

Stores can’t sell these ovens anymore. Louisiana retailers have pulled them from shelves.
