Health authorities have issued a warning to parents amid an increased number of children suffering scalding burns from instant noodles.
According to experts at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead in Sydney, at least ten children have been treated for injuries from the popular snack in the last month.
Toddlers have also suffered burns by pulling the container down from the kitchen bench or table when set out to cool. CHW Head of the Burns Unit, Dr Torey Lawrence, said it can take less than a second for the spilt noodles to cause a “significant” burn. “This means accidents like spilling the hot water from instant noodles can cause long-lasting injuries and lifelong scarring for children.”
