Easy-Bake Oven Recall Retrofit Kit

Hasbro issued a recall of their Easy-Bake Oven in Feb 2007 due to hand entrapment and burn hazards. Small children were getting their hands stuck and in some cases, burned. Hasbro's solution is a retrofit kit that they claim makes this product safe. Our 2 year old is one of the children who's had their hands trapped (but not burned). She was not allowed to play with her older sister's Easy-Bake Oven, and the oven was unplugged and put away in the kitchen pantry, but she stuck her hand in the oven slot in the pantry. See how (in)effective Hasbro's retrofit kit is. IN OUR EXPERIENCE, THIS PRODUCT IS NOT SAFE, WITH OR WITHOUT THE RETROFIT KIT.

my thing is with the parents.. learn to read... it usually says 5,6 or 8 and up... so realistically I blame the parents. sorry.. but how do you blame a company when the age restriction is on the box, even if the parents dont read the box knowing that the product gets hot... Hello.... yall just wanted attention. Just remember the words.. "oven" and "hot" and not to mention that there is a cord attached to the product.

@ladyjeng Really, can you read? The 2 year old was not invited to play with the Easy-Bake Oven. It was put away in a (lower) kitchen cabinet. It was not plugged in and was not hot. What it was, was designed in such a way as to be very attractive to little kids to stick their hands in and then designed to trap their hands. It took a huge crew of EMS personnel some time to get her hand out. We were lucky; she was not hurt. Some kids were badly hurt. We didn't want attention and didn't sue.

You people consistently don't read very well, do you? The Easy-Bake Oven did not belong to the two year old. It belonged to her older sister. The two year old was not allowed to play with it. The oven was not left out. It was put away in the pantry.  The two year old put her hand in the oven in the pantry.

[easybakerecall]

You folks are missing the fact that the Easy-Bake Oven was unplugged and put away in a kitchen cabinet. To our minds, the danger was heat, and unplugging it and putting it away was protecting her from that heat. Who knew that the thing was designed to trap the hands of little people who opened the cabinet and stuck their hands in the flap? We didn't. Nor did lots of other people whose kids were injured. That's the point.

thats why on cpsc website they now said that if you return the oven they will give you credit on another product

[easybakerecall]

98770: yes, we're very happy that Hasbro is finally doing the right thing and genuinely recalling this product (meaning asking for them back, instead of providing a retrofit that did nothing).

well it says on the box in huge letters ages 8 and up a 4 year old is not allowed using that so what the hell of people are YOU!!!!!!!

[KUMU4]

@lobsterworm

Maybe they can mix. If you teach a 2 year old girl not to put hands in an Easy Bake Oven and use the spatula, they will be safe from being their hands stuck in the flap.

P.S. Easy Bake Ovens and 2 YR. OLDS MIX WITH ADDITIONAL SUPERVISION.

@iannamico

So what's your problem with Free REIGN? I had free reign too. I am teached not to put those hands into that oven. That's why there is a spatula. Strict parenting can make your child having no fun. I have fun being as a child. There is no problem with theirs. It is their child not taught to not put the hands in the oven. Teach them how and also supervise.

@hannahmontanafan0788

So what's your problem? If I have a child, I would teach under-aged people how to bake using that toy oven. So what's your problem? As early as 2 years old, he/she should learn safety. Instead of using hands, he/she should use the pushing tool that comes with it. Today the Easy Bake Oven is better and it looks like a real oven. There is no problem with the toy, it's the child. Parents should teach them how to bake in an Easy Bake Oven.

Even 8 year olds and up need adult supervision. Teach your child not to put fingers in the Easy Bake Oven and use the spatula to push the food inside. A 2 year-old should know that he/she should not put his/her fingers in the Easy Bake Oven. Even her older sister can have stuck fingers too so children should need adult supervision.

@easybakerecall Oh yeah and i just watched this idiotic video because i had to pause it to respond to you but your going to ruin your older childs toy just because your 2 year old had her hand stuck in it.WOW wonderful parenting and being fair to all of your children.what do you think hasbro will watch this and be offended just because of your own horrible parenting.your pathetic.

[xXOMFGwafflesXx]

@easybakerecall it was still your fault you let the 2 year old go into the lower cabinets which was proably on her/his height so dont blame hasbro ladyjeng may not be 100% correct but they have a point.blame the parents who did not store it properly or kept it away from a child.(also not this one toy is attractive to every single kid.kids are human beings and have opinions so dont say kids in general)

[89990000]

Teach your child to never put the hands in the oven. If I was a parent, I would let her use the Easy-Bake Oven but warn her use the spatula designed to put food in the center of the oven.

Parenting 101 for me is awful. I use Parenting 200.

@iannamico
