Brits that use a hot water bottle have been issued a warning as temperatures begin to plummet.
Consumer expert Alice Beer appeared on This Morning on Monday (November 21) to share an important piece of safety advice for all those looking to warm themselves up this winter. Amid rising energy bills, many Brits are likely looking for cheaper alternatives to switching on the radiator - this includes hot water bottles.
Alice was contacted on Instagram by a parent whose child tragically suffered third-degree burns after her hot water bottle had burst. The expert explained how this had become a common issue, with Chelsea and Westminster hospital seeing people suffering hot water bottle burns at least once a week, the Liverpool Echo reports.
