Owen the Oven is a toy produced by Playtime Co., which made its debut in Chapter 2: Fly in a Web.
The toy can be located in the Rejected Room along with a slew of toys rejected for retail by the Playtime company. The toy was rejected during testing, due to children experiencing third degree burns after playing with the oven.
Appearance[]
Owen the Oven is a colorful oven possessing a face comprised of two eyes and a large unibrow in a perpetual frown. Owen appears to have a blue band on top with yellow turn knobs dedicated to buttons used to operate him. His mouth expression seems grumpy, with the steel bars inside his mouth completely burnt.
Rejection[]
At some point in Playtime Co.'s history, the idea of Owen the Oven came to be - a functioning oven toy that could be used to bake small foods. However, the toy was ultimately rejected and all models made of Owen the Oven were scrapped and put in the Rejected Room. The reason for being rejected was that multiple children had received third-degree burns after playing with Owen.

Trivia[]
- The reports of children getting burned when interacting with Owen the Oven may be a nod to the Easy-Bake Oven, more specifically its Hasbro manufactured 2006 version, where it was recalled in May 2006 for a similar reason.[4]
- On the back of an Owen the Oven toy in Chapter 2: Fly in a Web, there is text reading: 'Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food?', which is a reference to the meme of the same name.[5]
