A 4-year-old girl arrived at a pediatric emergency department in Riyadh unable to close her mouth. A battery-powered nail trimmer was clamped onto her lower lip, drawn tight into the small opening on the underside of the device. She had been playing with it alone about an hour earlier, pressed it against her lip and switched it on.
The emergency consultant tried to work it loose by hand, then stopped, judging that another pull risked tearing more tissue.
