I thought I’d note that the clog warning also extends into Canada where 3,000 shoes have been recalled.

I heard there was a recall on Hasbro’s “easy bake” ovens too. Kids are getting their fingers trapped in the door and have had burns as well. Is this really an appropriate toy for an 8 year old (appropriate for ages 8 and up)?
