Plain-English summary

Easy-Bake, a division of Hasbro, Inc., is recalling approximately 985,000 Easy-Bake Ovens due to entrapment and burn hazards. The recalled ovens are purple and pink plastic electric toys resembling a kitchen range with four burners on top and a front-loading oven.

The ovens were sold at Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, Target, KB Toys, and other retailers nationwide from May 2006 through February 2007 for about $25. Consumers should contact Easy-Bake between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET, seven days a week, to receive a free retrofit kit with a consumer warning.
