Six months ago, dozens of serious injuries prompted the recall of nearly a million Hasbro Easy-Bake Ovens.

Since then, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, only a small number of ovens have been returned. Hasbro has received reports of nearly 250 more incidents of children getting their hands or fingers caught in the ovens: 77 incidents involved burns, including 16 second- and third-degree burns, 1 burn required the partial amputation of a 5-year-old girl’s finger.

A second recall has been issued.

The latest CPSC alert says the recalled models are purple and pink model number 65805. They were made in China and sold after May 2006 at Toys “R” Us, Wal-Mart, Target and other major retailers.

Consumers are urged to take the products away from children immediately. The ovens may be returned for a voucher that can be used to get a Hasbro product of equal value — about $25. More specific information is available on Hasbro’s website.
