    So one semi long YouTube video is all it would take to get a burn? And you’d not even need a full length movie to need a trip to the hospital?

    I get that these aren’t “instant” burns, but this is still a device people regularly hold for hours a day. And if you don’t realize it’s heating up, you’re likely to notice only when you’re in pain.

        If the temp increase is slow, people don’t realize it’s hot unless they happen to put it down or reposition it.

        When my son was younger, he burnt his legs by using a laptop on his lap. It got hot, he didn’t realize.

        Same concept as being in the shower and very slowly changing the temp until you’re showering in fully hot/cold water.

      Yea I think that when something is hot enough to cause burns, even when it takes minutes, I think it’s uncomfortable enough for people to let go way WAY before anything bad happens. If you don’t then you probably need medication for whatever condition ails you
