Don't leave one of these on with young children about! I met a lady the other day who put her hands through the bars when she was 1 years old. She was burnt and electrocuted at the same time. She spent the next 16 years mostly in hospital with skin grafts etc, trying to recover some use of her hands. She is now 64 and still cannot hold a pen, or use a keyboard. She has enormous difficulty holding a cup. Permanently disabled in effect. These fires are obsolete for a reason.....
