Hasbro’s Easy Bake Oven

Another recall for Hasbro Easy-Bake Oven’s. Little kids can get their hands stuck in the front opening of the oven and it is a burn risk. This recall decision is based on hundreds of reports, including a child getting her finger amputated, and still many have suffered second and third degree burns.

Hasbro issued a callback of the devices earlier this year, but sent out a kit to fix the problem as opposed to a real solution. I will assume this was their choice due to an effort of financial expediency. I question why hasbro didnt do thourough testing initially to determine the safety of a toy that is naturally marketed towards wee ones.

With hundreds of children injured by a product that was irresponsibly tested, i think someone should be held accountable.
