A young boy was left with “skin peeling” after the $1.65 product “set him on fire” in front of his parents. WARNING: Graphic.
A English boy has been left with shocking burns on his face and chest after his bath soap exploded in a freak accident.
Paramedics rushed the family from their home in the town of Warrington to Liverpool’s Alder Hey Hospital where Oscar spent a week being treated for injuries on his face, neck, shoulders and chest.Parents Jonathan, 31, and Nicola Beddard, 43, are now seeking damages from Home Bargains for selling the Bathtime Mouldable Foam Soap that triggered the horror on July 21.
“When the bubbles came off Oscar and hit the naked flame on the candle they exploded and basically set him on fire,” Mr Beddard said.Oscar's family are now seeking damages as they say the product did not come with correct warnings“It’s unbelievable. The products shouldn’t be sold if they’re that flammable – it’s a kids’ bath product. Loads of people have candles in the bathroom.”
“The scars are healing well but Oscar won’t go in the bath any more and he’s not himself,” Mr Beddard said.
