From the Consumerist, Easy-Bake Ovens from across the country are being recalled due to children getting their hands stuck resulting in burns or lacerations. About 985,000 mini "toy" ovens will surely meet their demise in a oven crushing receptacle assuming parents catch wind of the recall.

For those unaware of how a toy company could get away with marketing a unit capable of cooking food, check out Wikipedia for the background on the little contraption.

Personally, I think such a scenario can act as a learning aid for teaching children the dangers of playing around ovens without incurring severe burns.
