Health for All says
Last month in Chengdu, Sichuan, the ** in the January sub-center forgot to turn off the hair dryer, resulting in a 15-day-old baby whose ears were burned out several large blisters!

Some people in the comment area said that this was using a hair dryer to blow the baby's butt to prevent diaper rash.
It is also said that the confinement center will turn on a hair dryer all year round, because the sound of the hair dryer can simulate the womb environment, and the baby likes it.

But no matter what the starting point is, small appliances such as hair dryers are very dangerous for infants and young children.
In the process of use, the distance is too close, blocking the heat dissipation outlet, forgetting to turn it off, etc., it may burn the child and even cause a disaster!
Everyone is familiar with the use of hair dryers, blowing hair, clothes, and diapers, and always drying out a wet thing.
In this process, the hair dryer generally has 2 ways to operate:
One is to increase the wind speed of the hair dryer to "blow dry" items with faster air movement;
One is to increase the amount of air heat from the hair dryer and "dry" the item by increasing the temperature.
And the problem arises in the "outlet temperature"!
When the ** is exposed to about 60 hot air for more than 5 minutes, it may cause low temperature burns;It only takes 1 minute to get burned when exposed to 70 years of hot air.
As for the hair dryer on the market, because of the restrictions of the national standard (the national standard requires that the air outlet temperature cannot be higher than 100 at a distance of 25mm from the air outlet), the air outlet temperature is about 50 90 at a place of 25mm from the air outlet.
At this temperature, if the hair dryer is used for a child, the distance is too close and the duration is long, it is easy to burn the child!
In March 21, a 1 and a half-year-old girl in Changsha, Hunan, after wetting her pants, her family took a hair dryer to blow the child's buttocks, causing the child to be burned!

In December of the same year, the head of a family in Hubei also used a hair dryer to blow the child's wet pants, causing the 5-year-old child's legs to be severely burned.
In addition, it is also very dangerous for the hair dryer to be blocked by the heat dissipation outlet (that is, the other end of the air outlet) during use.
Sichuan Fire Department has done an experiment to cover the heat dissipation of the running hair dryer with a quilt to observe its next changes.
After 1 minute, the heating wire inside the hair dryer starts to redden, the temperature of the case rises, and it starts to get hot.

Then put the air outlet of the hair dryer into the futon, and after a while, smoke came out of the quilt, and then an open flame appeared.

Experiments have proved that a running hair dryer, whether it is an air outlet or a heat dissipation outlet, once it is covered, only takes a few minutes before it may catch fire!
There is also a previous news report that a mother ran into a child's hydrogen balloon when she was using a hair dryer, and the balloon **, and the mother was severely burned.

Therefore, we must pay attention to the potential risks of hair dryers, and when using them for children, they must be accompanied by adults and cannot leave.
Keep at least 30cm away from the hair dryer and the child's **, and do not use it for more than 2 minutes to prevent burns.
After use, store the hair dryer in time when the temperature drops to room temperature, so as to avoid the danger caused by the child's independent operation.
When buying a hair dryer, you should also choose products with good quality, give priority to high-speed hair dryers (the outlet temperature of high-speed hair dryers will generally be lower than ordinary hair dryers), and it is best to choose products with overheat protection or high temperature power-off function.
In addition to hair dryers, these common small household appliances also have certain safety risks, especially in the recent time period!
Little sun
When running, the maximum temperature can reach 200, which is equivalent to 3 or 4 hair dryers blowing at the same time. If the child accidentally touches it, or is curious to touch it, it will be hot and foamy!
Some parents also dry their clothes in the sun, which is even more dangerous!
A big brother in Kaifeng, Henan Province, used a small sun to warm up and bake towels, and did not turn off the power when he went out, which caused a fire.
Surveillance shows that in just 7 minutes, a room was burned down!

So for the sake of safety, families with children, Xiaoyang should be directly abandoned, the "lethality" is too strong!
Electric blankets
A 2-year-old boy in Harbin, when his family used an electric blanket to warm up, the child wetted the bed, resulting in the electric blanket leakage, and the child's little ** was burned.

There is also a black bed that was burned black without turning off the electric blanket when he went out. Even the whole house is burned, and so on, and every year such news is one after another.

Now it is not proposed to let everyone directly abandon electric blankets, but to pay attention to ways and means. For example:
When leaving the room for a long time, turn off the switch of the electric blanket;
When sleeping, after the heating effect is achieved, turn off the electric blanket or lower the temperature;
If you have children at home, you should completely turn off the electric blanket when you sleep, so as to prevent the child from wetting the bed or drinking water and getting wet, resulting in leakage and scalding
The electric blanket should be rolled up like a mat when storing, and should not be folded repeatedly

The service life of the electric blanket is about 6 years, and it should be replaced in time when there is a problem with the switch and line, or the heating effect is greatly reduced.
Hand warmers
It is the "heating artifact" in the picture below. The exterior is cute, but when it's plugged in, the inside is "boiling"!
In January 2021, Ms. Tang from Xinzhou, Hubei Province, bought a hand warmer online. However, during a charging process, the hand warmer suddenly occurred**, and Ms. Tang's 1-year-old son was burned on the spot.

And Ms. Li from Qingdao before, as soon as she hugged the charged hand warmer into the quilt, it happened**, the hot liquid in the hand warmer was directly spilled on her abdomen and arms, causing serious burns!
Screenshot of news related to the source.
However, not all hand warmers will**, the key is to choose the right one, use the right one!
At present, there are three main types of electrode type, electric heating wire type, and electric heating tube type hand warmer on the market
Secondly, it should be used correctly according to the instructions of the manual. When charging, leave the hand warmer bare and don't wrap it in anything
Unplug the power supply after each charge, and do not keep the hand warmer plugged in to the plug board to avoid repeated charging and occur.
Finally, once again, don't forget!Including hair dryers, small suns, electric blankets, hand warmers, etc., when plugged in or charged, be sure to pay attention to it from time to time, and confirm that you unplug the power supply when you go out
