(HealthDay News) -- Every day, more than 300 children are treated in emergency rooms for burn-related injuries, says the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
To help prevent your child from being burned, the CDC suggests:
Install and maintain smoke alarms at home.
Supervise children's use of stoves, ovens and microwaves.
Set your water heater's thermostat to under 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
