Unplug This One Kitchen Appliance Before Bed to Prevent a Fire 🔌🔥


 

Your kitchen might be hiding a silent fire hazard! Fire safety experts warn that one common appliance is responsible for thousands of home fires annually—and you probably leave it plugged in overnight. Here’s what to unplug every night to protect your home.

The #1 Appliance to Unplug: Your Toaster 🍞⚠️

Why Toasters Are Dangerous

  • Electrical malfunctions: Faulty wiring or crumbs can spark flames.

  • No auto-shutoff: Most toasters stay "on" when plugged in, even when idle.

  • NFPA reports: Toasters/toaster ovens cause ~3,000 U.S. fires/year.

Other High-Risk Appliances (Unplug These Too!)

  • Coffee makers – Heating elements can overheat.

  • Slow cookers – Wiring issues may cause overnight fires.

  • Air fryers – Power surges can damage units left plugged in.
