Who doesn’t love a hot water bottle? When the temperature drops and as energy prices rise, there’s nothing quite like the warm hug they give you.
But a rubber bottle filled with scorching hot liquid comes with risk , and a lot of people don’t realise that they come on a timer. As with most things, hot water bottles have expiry dates.
A hot water bottle is actually only designed to last up to three years from its manufacture. They can degrade over time and the material can split, leading to nasty burns and other serious injuries.
