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?
Id say the design flaw is allowing it to function in that position at all. Put a gravity switch in there like space heaters have, so that it it tilts more than a few degrees it shuts off
How the hell am I supposed to make my quasedilla on the ISS then?!
Duh, space walk with it and point it at the sun. That's just common sense.
