Cover Story: Scalds from domestic tap water can cause significant burn injuries through immersion in hot water. They are preventable and predominantly affect the most vulnerable in society: patients at the extremes of age, and those with physical or mental disabilities. There has been unacceptable stagnation in the prevention of these injuries despite their recognition as a problem since the 1970s and the availability of simple preventative measures, such as the control of water temperature at domestic outlets with thermostatic mixing valves. This retrospective observational study carried out at a regional burns unit in the UK investigates the incidence, aetiology, and outcome of these injuries and highlights a need for simple safety measures to reduce the burden of domestic tap water scalds.
