Burns Resulting from Touching a Grill! Pay close attention to children who have begun to walk.

(Case 1) “My daughter, who turned 2 this year, touched the glass window on the fish grill and burned her left hand. The grill was off at the time, but it was still hot.”

（事例1）今年で2歳になる娘が，魚焼きグリルのガラス面に触って左手にやけどをした。グリルは火を消した後だったが、余熱が残っていた。

(Case 2) “When I was grilling fish, my son, who had just begun to be able to pull himself into a standing position, grabbed the side of the grill and burned his hand. I thought that the grill was far enough away that he wouldn’t be able to reach it.”

（事例2）グリルで魚を焼いているときに，最近つかまり立ちをするようになった息子が，グリルの側面に手をついてやけどをしてしまった。グリルまで手が届くとは思っていなかった。

The majority of these accidents where children burn themselves on an oven grill typically occur with children around the age of 1. This is generally the age in which children start to walk and have a greater range of movement. Grill windows are about the same height as young children, making them easy to reach. Make sure to pay close attention to your children so they don’t burn themselves.

　こんろのグリルで子どもがやけどを負ったという事故が，1歳前後の子どもに集中して起きています。歩き始めのこの時期は行動範囲が広がり，身長とほぼ同じ高さにあるグリル窓へ容易に手が届くようになるので注意しましょう。

Grill windows in particular get very hot during use and can remain so for some time afterward. As such, please be sure to keep children away from ovens while the grill window is still hot.Another solution is to choose an oven with a grill window that prevents high temperatures.

　グリル窓は，使用中はもちろん使用後もしばらくは高温です。窓が熱いうちはグリルに子どもを近づけてはいけません。高温抑制されたグリル窓を使用している商品を選ぶのも一つの方法です。

It’s important to be extra cautious because children have thinner skin than adults which makes it easier for their skin to burn. In the event that they do burn themselves, immediately cool down the burn with running water, wrap it in gauze, and seek medical attention. If there are any blisters, take care not to puncture them.

　子どもは大人より皮膚が薄いため，深いやけどになりやすく，注意が必要です。やけどを負った場合は，すぐに流水で冷却しましょう。水疱があれば可能な限り破らないようにして，冷却後はガーゼ等を当てて医療機関を受診しましょう。
