  • Description:
    We all want to keep our children safe and secure and help them live to_their full potential. Knowing how to prevent leading causes of child injury, like burns, is a step toward this goal. Every day, 435 children ages 0 to 19 are treated in emergency rooms for burn-related injuries and two children die as a result of being burned. Younger children are more likely to sustain injuries from scald burns that are caused by hot liquids or steam, while older children are more likely to sustain injuries from flame burns that are caused by direct contact with fire. Thankfully, there are ways you can help protect the children you love from burns.
