N2  - Infants and toddlers are at particular risk for contact burns from the registers of gas-fired floor furnaces. We report 11-month-old and 12-month-old boys who sustained the classic grid-like pattern of burns to their skin after contracting the registers of gas-fired floor furnaces. The depth of these burns were judged to be partial thickness and healed without the application of skin grafts. Manufacturers must devise safe registers for gas-fired furnaces that will not cause contact burn injuries.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
