Tired of burning your house down when you want to use your toaster toske something not toast? Introducing the toaster oven. For when you want to toast something besides bread.
This is an incredibly American attitude. The appliance clearly has a commonly occurring misuse that puts consumers at risk of burning their neighborhood down.
It would be a trivial addition to put a physical deadman’a switch on the bottom, exactly like what space heaters use.
The role of government and regulation is to serve and protect the people. I cannot believe you are unironically advocating that corporations should just put out whatever dangerous products they want with no repercussions just because there is one specific way to use it “correctly”.
Nevermind the million things that could happen. Cat knocks it over. Disabled or elderly person? Stoned college kid? Child?
I guess it’s all about pErSoNaL rEsPoNsiBilItY when it benefits you, and all about collectivism when it only benefits you huh?
That said, eating asbestos flakes isn’t the most dangerous thing. Plastic partially burning close to your food, but too slowly for you to notice seems way worse… And there are many fire retardants that are safer to handle in a factory but that will give you a really bad time if you eat them.
Fire “removedants?” You mean fire removedants? How about artardents? I suppose one could argue that the automatic censorship of your word is a form of dysfunctional regulation.
There’s all sorts of inappropriate ways to use a toaster where the failure mode is fire. Making toast in bed, under the covers? Catch fire. In a puddle of gasoline? Catch fire. Seriously, WTC toasters?
I’m actually kind of amazed that the failure mode for “toaster used sideways” is that it just catches fire. That’s one hell of a design flaw.
Is it a design flaw if someone uses the toaster in a way it’s clearly not intended for, and food touches the hot elements and catches fire?

Dude what the fuck are you on about. Plenty of products have safety measures in place because we have federal systems to regulate them.
You can’t just cherry pick one example and then say America bad. What a fucking .ml tier take.
🙄 serving drama
If you didn’t expect a machine that has very hot elements very close to your food to make such food burn if used wrongly, that’s on you.
I agree, but I feel like having the toaster itself catch fire could have been mitigated somehow.
Then you get to play the “asbestos flakes or salt?” game. Fun for the whole family!

Does ML censors parts of words now?
