That's not the original -- it's a new model that has significant differences (including the problem that caused the recall). It doesn't even use an incandescent light the way that the original did.
The company has issued a statement that they will be attempting to redesign the oven and get a new, safer version out on the store shelves as soon as possible.
I have fond memories of a whole set of kitchen furniture that Dad made for my sister and me (stove, fridge and a sink/cabinet, all painted bright red). Unfortunately, it went out with all the other stuff I wish we could have kept when Mom sold the house 30 years ago... My granddaughter has not one but *two* PlaySkool sets (one at her house and one at mine) which she seems perfectly happy with, but I still wish I could have given her my old set. (sigh)
As for the Easy Bake, that was but one more Xmas gift big sister got that I wasn't allowed anywheres near. So of course, now I play with the real thing.
