N.J. teen wants Easy-Bake Oven to appeal to boys
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Four-year-old Gavyn Boscio loves to cook and asked for an Easy-Bake Oven for Christmas.

So the eighth-grader from Garfield, N.J., started an online petition asking Pawtucket, R.I.-based Hasbro to make the toy ovens in gender-neutral colors and feature boys on the package.
