Electric hair
curlers and dryers should be unplugged as soon as they are finished being
used, especially when the bedroom or bathroom is used by more than one
person. A serious contact burn can result from the exposed heating element of
a hair curler.
|
|
Electrical
appliances should not be used near water. In particular, hand-held appliances
such as hair curlers or dryers could cause a powerful electrical shock, even
electrocution, if they fall into a sink or tub filled with water while
someone is bathing.
|
|
All electrical
appliances should carry the UL symbol® of Underwriters’ Laboratories, which
tests electrical appliances.

(Bridge) Electricity once replaced candles as the
main source of light. Candles are now
popular again, for fragrance and decoration more than for light, especially
among young people. How are they dangerous, and what guidelines can reduce
that danger?
