HAZARD: POTENTIAL FOR ELECTRIC SHOCK AND BURN INJURY!

W.A.T.C.H. OUT! This oven uses standard 120-volt house current and "bakes" with a 60-watt light bulb. A parent or caregiver needs no further indication that this oven could be dangerous than the litany of warnings and cautions on the toy itself and the packaging, including:

"CAUTION: As with all electric products, precautions should be observed...to prevent electric shock."

"WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD, PULL PLUG BEFORE CHANGING LIGHT BULB"

"DANGER: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER,
WIPE CLEAN WITH DAMP CLOTH."

"HOT - DO NOT TOUCH"

A product with so many inherent hazards does not lend itself to use in a home environment with children, where it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to use the product safely. Real electricity is not a toy, and electric "toys" are never appropriate for children.
