Easy-Bake Ovens Recalled After Partial Finger Amputation and Burn Reports

Plain-English summary

Hasbro, Inc. is recalling approximately 1 million Easy-Bake Ovens, model number 65805, sold nationwide from May 2006 through July 2007. The recalled ovens are purple and pink plastic electric toys resembling a kitchen range. This recall includes all units with the retrofit kit; ovens sold before May 2006 are not included.

The recall follows reports that young children can insert their hands into the oven's front opening, where they can get their hands or fingers caught. Since a repair program was announced in February, the company received 249 reports of children getting their hands or fingers caught, including 77 reports of burns. Among these, 16 were reported as second and third-degree burns, and one report involved a serious burn that required a partial finger amputation to a 5-year-old girl.

Caregivers should immediately take the recalled Easy-Bake Oven away from children. Consumers should call Easy-Bake at (800) 601-8418 for instructions on how to return the toy oven for a voucher towards the purchase of another Hasbro product.
