1. When I was a kid and this toy was introduced, you "baked" with the

heat of a 60-watt light bulb and were warned to ALWAYS have an adult present.

[YOY]

2. and my sisters still burned the hell out of their hands

I helped and I BURNT my damn hand. We're all alive but the thing basically BURNS KIDS HANDS! That's the purpose of the toy: burning kids hands. :evilfrown:

4. I didn't have the easy bake oven

but the Creepy Crawler cooker burned my hands and fingers in the same way. No adults were ever present, so we never said a word.

6. Hee-hee...we had that, too

as well as the easy bake. The fun we had when we were kids :7

5. I always wanted on, but istadi got tiny pans and mixes and we made stuff in the regular oven

7. It doesn't help when people buy these for 5-year-olds either,

when they are marked for ages 8 and up. And then parents don't supervise their use enough either, especially when there may be younger siblings around.

I'm glad they are recalling them. Too many injuries to little hands. That poor little girl with the partial amputation! :cry:
