appliances risk for children - household electrical appliances

Today millions of young children are allegedly allowed to use potentially dangerous electrical appliances in their homes without supervision.
Young people operate irons, cookware, kettle and toaster without adult guidance.
Every 10 children under 10 years of age or 10 years of age have 1 constantly unwatched ironing, and only parents advise their offspring on the risks associated with ironing
Every year, an astonishing 1 million children are hospitalized for accidents at home, many of which are caused by electric shock.
At present, 25,000 primary schools across the UK are receiving advice on electrical safety to reduce accidents at home.
Experts say the surge in the number of children using live appliances is due to increased use of television, video recorders and game consoles.
A study by the Good Housekeeping Institute and high street retailer Curry found that respondents allowed children aged 10 or younger to use a kettle or toaster without supervision.
30% children of the same age group will be allowed to use microwave ovens without supervision, and 1 out of 10 children can use cookware or iron.
The report also shows that many parents may provide insufficient safety advice.
