Safety - Toasters and other appliances (unplug after use)

By Hklbrries

Dear Heloise: After use, I always unplug my toaster. My friend’s toaster activated on its own one day, causing a fire in her home.

Important hint! An appliance starting on its own happens more often than you know! When there are severe storms with lightning, it can trigger a power glitch and may turn on a plugged-in appliance. It’s a good practice to get in the habit of unplugging the toaster (or any other appliance, like a coffeemaker) after each use or when leaving home for some time.
