Curling Iron Dangers
and Defects |
|
| In an average year children
under five years of age suffer over 7,500 burn
injuries which require hospital emergency room
treatment when they touch hot curling irons. According
to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC), burns to young children represent about
50 percent of all injuries with hair curling irons.
Teenagers and adults should never leave a hot curling
iron where a young child can reach it. |
| Another hazard with
hair curling irons is eye injury to the user.
The CPSC estimates that there are pver 5,000
emergency room treated burns to the eye per
year when users accidentally touch their eyes
with a hot iron. Most victims are young women
between 15 and 24 years old. |
| During the past few
years, curling irons have been made to get
hotter. These hotter curling irons may cause
more severe injuries when young children touch
them and when users inadvertently touch their
eyes and face with the curling irons. |
