Were you right?
This hot water bottle was produced in April 2021.
Water bottles should be no more than 2 years old. Wear and tear can cause them to burst causing serious injuries
Make sure you check all your hot water bottles! #BeBurnsAware @WythenshaweHosp @BritishBurn @MFTnhs

Hot water can pose a real danger. Bath and shower water can cause such bad burns that children need years of treatment. It only takes one second to get a deep burn in hot water when the water temperature is at 70°C. 🛁🚿🧼

Do you have an e-bike or scooter in your home?

Lithium ion batteries pose a serious risk of fire in your home. Low quality components and improper charging can cause batteries to overheat and ignite. #BeBurnsAware

The majority of burn injuries to children happen in the kitchen. Keep pans at the back of the hob and turn handles away from reach.🍳🍳🍳 #BeBurnsAware @BritishBurn @WythenshaweHosp @MFTnhs

Hot drinks can still burn a child’s skin up to 15 minutes after being made. Every day, 30 babies and toddlers go to hospital with burns from hot drinks. Keep hot drinks out of reach.☕️☕️☕️ #BeBurnsAware @MFTnhs @BritishBurn @WythenshaweHosp

While 'make do and mend' works for many things, with hot water bottles, safety comes first... and they have a shelf life.

Use this little-known trick to check how old yours is ⬇️
