OBJECTIVES
To determine the magnitude and causes of unintentional burn injuries attributed to hot objects or substances among children aged birth to 4 years in the United States.
METHODS
Data were obtained from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care System.
RESULTS
Annually, 78,000 infants and toddlers were treated in ambulatory care settings for injuries due to contact with a hot object or substance. Hot foods, curling irons, or clothing irons were the main causes of burns.
CONCLUSIONS
Due to the varied causes of burns, a combination of health education and product design interventions are likely necessary to prevent these injuries.
