    The product, in the report: White Black & Decker Versa Toast T1400

    At 8:30 I woke to the smell of burning plastic. I went downstairs and saw a thin layer of smoke through out my downstairs. I checked the basement the main floor and the upstairs. I cound not find the source of the fire. I finally found the source of the smell in my kitchen. My Black & Decker Versa Toast T1400 toaster had started on fire. Luckily the fire had put itself out and did not cause any damage to my kitchen. I had a towel and some papers on top that burned but that was it. This toaster had not been used for several days. I am lucky but a have found online other people not so lucky. What makes me upset is that this product was recalled 10 years ago and I knew nothing about it. I have contacted Black & Decker but they just told me to call another number. I called the number left my information and am waiting for a response.
