BETHESDA, Md. (AP) - If your child plays with a new

front-loading Easy-Bake Oven, there's a recall that could affect

you.

      The U-S Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the

voluntary recall of about one (m) million Easy-Bake Ovens. The

recalled item is made of purple and pink plastic. It resembles a

kitchen range with four burners on top and a front-loading oven.

      Ovens that were sold before May of 2006 aren't included in the

recall.

      Consumer Product Safety Commission spokeswoman Julie Vallese

(vuh-LEES') says there have been some 250 reports of children

getting their fingers caught in the oven, with 77 reports of burns.

Sixteen of those burns were third-degree.

      Vallese says there was one report of a partial-finger amputation

because of a serious burn.

      Consumers can call Easy-Bake for instructions on how to return

the toy oven for a voucher toward the purchase of another Hasbro

product.
