So before you cozy up to a hot water bottle this winter, check to make sure your bottle is still safe to use!
@saritaharrar Last weekend my hot water bottle burst on my daughter and she got burns injuries from it. She had a cold, the heating was on, but she was still shivering, hence the hot water bottle ? According to the nurse, this is a seasonal injury and VERY common at this time of year. Here’s what to look for, how to tell when it was made, and burns first aid at the end. What I found out after the event was too late for my girl (who is recovering well, thankfully). We’ve all been traumatised by it, but we could’ve prevented it had we taken the necessary precautions ?
