`Hot Issue
`PA Passes Fire Safe
`Cigarette Legislation:
`All cigarettes sold in
`Pennsylvania as of Jan. 1,
`2009 are required to be
`“fire safe” under a bill
`signed into law by
`Governor Rendell and
`praised by PA State Fire
`Commissioner, Edward A.
`Mann.  Cigarettes are the
`leading cause of home fire
`fatalities in the United
`States every year, killing
`smokers and nonsmokers
`alike! “Fire­safe” cigarettes
`are rolled with bands of less
`porous, slow­burning paper,
`so if the cigarette is left
`unattended, it will go out
`when it burns down to one
`of those bands. This is a
`good step toward
`preventing hundreds of
`senseless deaths every year.

`
`Safety Facts on Scald Burns
`
`Hot Liquids Burn like Fire
`
`Over 500,000 scald burns occur annually in the
`United States.
`The two highest risk populations are children under the age
`of 5 and adults over 65.
`
`Did you know…
`
`Hot liquids can cause life­threatening burn injuries.
`Scalds are the number­one cause of burn injury to
`children under age 4.
`Burn accidents frequently occur when parents or
`caregivers are in a hurry, angry, or under a lot of
`pressure.
`Coffee, tea, soup and hot tap water can be hot
`enough to cause serious burn injury.
`Scald and steam burns are often associated with
`microwave oven use.
`When tap water reaches 140º F, it can cause a third
`degree (full thickness) burn in just five seconds.
`Hot tap water accounts for 17% of all childhood scald
`hospitalizations.
`
`Most Scald Injuries can be Prevented
`
`SCALDS IN THE KITCHEN
`
`How to prevent injury from hot foods and beverages:
`
`Continuous and adequate supervision of children in
`the kitchen is of prime importance.
`As a child's mobility and curiosity increases,
`appropriate supervision becomes essential. Control a
`young child's activity while he/she is in the kitchen
`and when food is being prepared. High chairs, feeding
`tables, etc. can control children and allow supervision
`during daily kitchen activities.
`Keep children out of the "traffic path" and check for
`their location before moving any hot liquids in the
`kitchen.
`Keep all hot liquids at a safe distance from children.
`Take time to fix meals without rushing.
`Keep pot handles turned toward the back of the
`stove. Cook on rear burners when possible.
`Use a "fill­through­the­spout" teapot, the kind
`without a lid and with a whistle in the spout, to
`prevent "spilled water" scalds in the kitchen.
`Test all heated liquid/food before giving it to a child or
`placing it within his/her reach.

`
`Remove tablecloths when toddlers are present in the
`home. They tug and pull on everything within their
`reach. Hot liquids can easily be pulled down on them.
`Never hold a child while drinking a hot liquid.
`Purchase appliances with short cords, and keep all
`cords from dangling over the edge of counters, i.e.,
`slow cookers, coffee pots, fat fryers, and anything
`that could contain hot liquids.
`Periodically check all handles on appliances and
`cooking utensils to insure the handles are tightly
`fastened and will afford proper heat protection.
`Consider marking a "NO ZONE" in front of the kitchen
`stove. Teach children to remain out of this zone. This
`can be done with colored tape on the floor.
`Children should not be allowed to use a
`cooking/heating appliance until they are mature
`enough to understand safe­use procedures and tall
`enough to safely reach cooking surfaces and handle
`hot items.
`Use caution when moving heavy pots of hot liquids
`from the stove.
`Avoid using area rugs in the kitchen, especially near
`the stove. They can cause falls and scalds.
`Be sure to inform baby­sitters about kitchen and
`appliance safety and teach them to prevent burn
`injuries when preparing meals.

`Hot Water Causes Third Degree Burns…
`…in 1 second at 156º

`
`HOT TAP WATER AND SCALD BURNS
`
`Hot tap water is a major cause of burn injury. As with other
`scald burns, young children and older adults are most at risk.
`
`The following measures will help you prevent or control tap
`water scalds:
`
`CONTINUOUS AND ADEQUATE SUPERVISION OF
`YOUNG CHILDREN IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT
`FACTOR IN PREVENTING TAP WATER SCALD BURNS.
`
`Before placing a child into the bath or getting into the
`tub yourself, TEST THE TEMPERATURE OF THE WATER
`by moving your hand rapidly through the water for
`several seconds. The temperature should not exceed
`100º F/39º C. A child's delicate skin will burn more
`quickly than an adult's.
`Never leave a young child unattended in the
`bathroom or tub.
`Use extreme caution if bathing small children in the
`sink. Many sinks have single­lever faucets which are
`easy for young children to turn on.
`Adjust the thermostat setting on your water heater
`to produce a water temperature of 120º to 125º or
`less. The lower the temperature, the lower the risk.
`Consider installing "anti­scald" devices on tub
`faucets and shower heads to prevent accidental
`scalds.
`
`HOT WATER BURNS ARE 100% PREVENTABLE
`
`1. Keep hot liquids out of the reach of children.
`Babies ­ the most frequent victims of hot liquid scalds
`­ need only a split second to grab a coffee cup, or
`bump a sipping parent's arm. Spilled hot coffee or tea,
`usually hotter than 160º, will cause severe injury.
`Toddlers can spill hot liquids by pulling at tablecloths,
`pot handles, and cooking appliance cords. They may

`
`be underfoot while you're carrying pots around the
`kitchen.
`Protect babies or toddlers by placing them in a high
`chair or playpen during cooking and coffee hours.
`2. Supervise children and older people in tub
`baths.
`Young children are able to turn on the hot water by
`themselves. Elderly or handicapped people are prone
`to falling. They should never be left alone in the tub,
`even momentarily. Always test their bath water: it
`should be about 100º.
`3. Set water heater thermostat to safe level.
`Most water heaters are set to heat water well above
`140º. But a tap water temperature of 120º to 125º
`should be hot enough for washing clothes and dishes.
`And few people bathe at temperatures above 110º.
`Set your water heater thermostat at low, which is
`usually about 120º ­ for safety, and to save 18% of
`the energy used at 140º. (Although many automatic
`dishwasher instructions suggest 140º, cleaning is
`usually satisfactory at much lower temperatures.) If
`you live in an apartment, and the water is too hot,
`show this folder to your landlord, and ask that the
`water temperature be lowered.
`4. Check tap water temperature. Let hot water run
`for three to five minutes. Test the temperature with a
`candy, meat or water thermometer. Set the
`temperature on your water heater thermostat. Wait a
`full day to allow the water temperature to change,
`then re­test and re­adjust the thermostat, is
`necessary.
`
`Most people associate burns with flame. In fact, burns are
`caused more often by liquids than by flames.
`
`USE CARE, AND HOT WATER WILL ALWAYS BE A
`FRIEND.
