abstract="Commercial &quot;shower-steamers&quot; are relatively new devices used to produce a sauna-like effect in standard showers. These devices produce superheated steam to temperatures greater than 100 degrees C. The steam-head is installed 12 in. above the shower floor or 8 in. above the tub edge, making accidental burn injury to children a real possibility, as in our case report. To our knowledge, there are no previously documented cases in the literature or on the Consumer Products Safety Commission Web site of thermal injuries from this device. Physicians need to be aware of the possible injury from such steamers, and public education to prevent further incidents is warranted.   <p></p>  <p>Language: en</p>",
