Abstract

Contact with hot surfaces is a cause of substantial morbidity among children. In 1993, an estimated 1,881 children visited emergency departments for treatment of burns related to nonvehicle radiators in the United States. This report summarizes the investigation of radiator burns among children aged 0-19 years living in a Chicago housing project and provides recommendations for preventing radiator burn injuries.
