Health Tip: Avoid Burns From Playground Equipment
By LadyLively on February 11, 2019
Materials used in modern playgrounds, often plastics and rubber, can get very hot in the summer sun and are capable of burning a child’s skin, the Consumer Product Safety Commission says.
The agency offers parents this advice:
- A child can get a thermal burn even in mild weather.
- Watch for uncoated metal equipment, dark-colored plastics, asphalt and concrete surfaces.
- Check the temperature of the playground equipment.
- Dress your child in appropriate clothing.
- Always watch children when they are at the playground.
