ISSUED BY THE N.Z. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Don't let Flowing garments become Flaming garments! Whoosh— The free flowing edge of a child's nightdress touches an unguarded fire and another statistic is added to New Zealand's mounting score of death and injury from burns. Records show that 70% of all burns to young children are due to their touching unguarded fires or to their clothing catching alight. The greatest risk is to children under 10 years. Accidents in this group made up 66% of the total. Where there are open fires night-dresses constitute a greater hazard than pyjamas—in the under 5 age group girls outnumber boy victims by four to one. In enlightened homes night time is pyjama time—and make doubly sure of safety this winter by attaching guards firmly to all your fires.
