Hasbro says it will begin selling gender-neutral Easy-Bake ovens after meeting with a 13-year-old New Jersey girl who campaigned for the change. McKenna Pope, of Garfield, New Jersey got over 40,000 signatures on her online petition at Change.org.
She also got the support of celebrity chefs, including Bobby Flay, who backed her call for Hasbro to include boys in Easy-Bake oven ads and make them in gender-neutral colors. She began her campaign when she could only find pink or purple Easy-Bake ovens for her four-year-old brother, who wants to be a chef.
Hasbro invited McKenna and her family to their headquarters, where they revealed a prototype of their newest Easy-Bake oven in black, silver or blue.
