A study of 153 preschool children admitted to a subregional burns unit over a 4-year period revealed 23 who had sustained scalds by pulling on kettle flexes. The dangers of dangling kettle flexes have been noted in the past. However, identifying problems and undertaking education programmes to warn against them has a limited effect on accident prevention. The recent introduction of 'curly' cables makes the prospect of active prevention considerably simpler.
一项针对某地区烧伤科在4年时间里收治的153名学龄前儿童的研究发现，有23名儿童因拉扯水壶电线而被烫伤。过去已经注意到了垂落的水壶电线的危险性。然而，识别问题并开展教育项目以警示人们防范这些问题，对预防事故的效果有限。最近引入的“卷曲”电缆使积极预防的前景变得相当简单。
