Hot food, hot chocolate, heat packs, heaters and noodle soups can provide warmth on the colder months. If care is not taken or hot objects get in reach of little hands, it may lead to serious burns or scalds.

 Accidental burns from hot liquids, food or steam can cause serious injuries. Every year we see over 500 children present to the hospitals with scalds or contact burn injuries. Over 50% of these children are under 2 years old.   

Burns can happen in seconds and can last a lifetime.  Burns are also preventable.  For tips on burns prevention and first aid visit our Burns and fire safety page.
