According to the American Burn Association Repository’s 2011 report, approximately 450,000 burn injuries require medical treatment each year. The National Fire Prevention Association reports there were 70,800 scalding non-fire burn injuries reported to hospital emergency rooms in 2012, up from 68,700 in 2011. A scald injury can happen at any age. Hot liquids from bath water, hot coffee and even microwaved soup can cause devastating injuries. Scald burns are the second leading cause of all burn injuries.
