Hasbro has recalled about 1 million Easy-Bake ovens after getting 249 reports of children getting hands or fingers stuck in the opening. There were 77 reports of burns — including 16 of second- and third-degree burns. One 5-year-old girl’s finger was burned so severely that she had to have a partial amputation. An earlier recall notice in February listed 29 reports of kids getting stuck and five reports of burns.
The Easy-Bake Oven is a purple and pink plastic oven that resembles a kitchen range with four burners on top and a front-loading oven. “Easy Bake” is printed on the front of the oven. Model number 65805 and “Hasbro” are stamped into the plastic on the back of the oven. This recall includes all units with the retrofit kit. The Easy-Bake Oven is an electric toy and is not recommended for children under eight years of age. Ovens sold before May 2006 are not included in this recall.
