Doctors have warned of the dangers of hair straighteners after a near doubling of burns cases in children ? and Christmas is the peak time for accidents.
Children are up to three times more likely to be injured in the weeks after Christmas, according to new research. Most of the children injured are aged under two.
The study said that owners need to be better informed about handling the devices. It recommended that straighteners be put in heat-resistant pouches after use, to reduce the risk of burns.
