If your daughter's like mine she probably has an Easy Bake Oven. Well, they have been recalled for the second time in less than a year, government safety advocates announced on Thursday. In February Easy Bake's parent company, Hasbro Inc., recalled 985,000 of the toys because children were getting their hands and fingers trapped in the front opening, and some were burned. At that time, Hasbro offered a free repair kit to improve the oven's safety.
Since the first recall there has been 249 additional reports of children getting their hands caught and 16 reports of second, third-degree burns. Even a 5 year old had to have a partial amputation on her finger.The company is urging all owners to contact Easy Bake and exchange their ovens for a Hasbro product voucher. For more information, oven owners can call 800-601-8418 or visit http://www.easybake.com/ or http://www.cpsc.gov/ .
