Easy Bake oven recalled -- again

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of the Easy-Bake Oven due to entrapment and burn hazards. The recall notice says:

Young children can insert their hands into the oven's opening and get their hands or fingers caught, posing an entrapment and burn hazard.

I posted the first recall of the hideous oven in February. The old design (left) was much better, and prettier, too.

Last weekend (inspired by Merlin Mann's recent de-cluttering kick) I happily threw my kids' Easy Bake Oven in the trash. Maybe I'll build them a dorkbake oven to replace it. Link (Thanks, Bob!)
