Surprised the manufacturers of the oven weren't also taken to court.
But the isolator would have means of locking out.

Precisely. It was the method of use that was at fault, not the
manufacture of the oven.

Imho the oven shouldnt prevent escape from inside unless its a pressure vessel. This principle has been in use with domestic cookers & fridges for many decades.

That wasn't prompted by accidents when they were in use, but was
introduced as a result of children playing in ones that had (often
illegally) been dumped. I can image cases where it could be quite
dangerous to allow an industrial oven to be opened whilst working.
