Easy Bake Ovens Recalled Over Burns 07-20-2007

The Easy Bake oven, an iconic toy with a four-decade history, has been recalled for the second time in less than a year, government safety advocates announced Thursday.

Since a February recall, the company has received 249 reports of children getting their hands or fingers caught in the ovens, including 16 reports of second- and third-degree burns. One burn required partial amputation of a 5-year-old girl's finger.

As a result, Hasbro is recalling all front-loading Easy Bake ovens sold since May 2006, even those that were repaired with the free kit distributed after the February recall.

The company is urging all owners to contact Easy Bake and exchange their ovens for a Hasbro product voucher.
