Reported on Oct 15, 2011
| WE HAD JUST ARRIVED TO OUR NEPHEW'S POP WARNER FOOTBALL GAME. WHEN WE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE WE TOLD OUR 8 YEAR OLD SON TO STAND BY THE CAR WHILE WE PULLED OUT OUR OTHER SON'S STROLLER OUR OF THE TRUCK. OUR 8 YEAR OLD LEANED AGAINST THE DRIVER SIDE REAR END WHEN SUDDENLY WE HEARD HIM SCREECH IN PAIN. WE ASKED WHAT HAD HAPPENED HE SAID THAT HE FELT SOMETHING HOT HIT HIS LEG. WHEN WE LOOKED WE NOTICED THAT HE HAD BURNED HIS RIGHT CALF AND IT WAS BECAUSE THE EXHAUST PIPES STUCK OUT TOO FAR. WE TRIED TO TREAT THE BURN OURSELF WITH BURN OINTMENT BUT IT WAS NOT ENOUGH. THE NEXT DAY WE TOOK HIM TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM TO HAVE A DOCTOR LOOK AT IT AND SHE SAID THAT HE HAD 3RD DEGREE BURNS AND THAT IT WAS INFECTED. | |
