Fezzy:

Hi there, my amazing friends. It's me, Fezzy, from Shriners Children's, here to talk about being burn aware at bath time. Did you know that water above 120 degrees can cause serious burns?

Continuous supervision of young children is the most important factor in preventing tap water scald burns. Fezzy's Tips.

Fezzy:

It's really important that grown-ups always check the water temperature before you get into the tub.

Remember, friends, when the tub is filled, we should turn on cold water first, and then add warm until it's just right. Kiddos, be sure to sit on the opposite side of the tub away from the faucets. And you should never, ever use electronics near water. Electrical appliances near water can be just as dangerous as fire, even the hairdryer. That's just going to have to wait until you are out of the tub and fully dried off.
