Microwave ovens have led to thousands of kids getting burned, doctors warn By Kate Gibson Microwaves being changed to protect kids
Microwave ovens will soon have a new safety feature that is long overdue: child-resistant doors. The addition of the critical new feature comes thanks to the persistence of pediatrician Kyran Quinlan and his colleagues, who took note of how many kids were showing up with burns at their Chicago hospital and decided to do something about it.
The ease with which toddlers can operate microwaves has led to thousands of them getting burned, many severely, when removing hot soup or other liquids from the common household appliance and having it spill onto their faces and chests, the researchers found.

The City of Chicago ditched their plans to re-open dozens of schools this week to nearly 350,000 students after the teachers union threatened a “walk-off” over an alleged lack of safety protocols surrounding CoVID.
“The reversal in the nation’s third-largest district also meant roughly thousands of pre-K and special education students who started in-person classes earlier this month as part of gradual return would shift back to online learning. The district went remote last March, but district officials say it’s not working, particularly for many low-income Black and Latino students who comprise the majority of the district,” reports Fox News.
