Alex Adenaike said her daughter was waiting to see if she needed a skin graft.
"She was in so much pain, she was unable to tell us what happened. Eventually we realised one of her feet was very red and blistered.
"We had some help from some other visitors on the beach to cool down the burn with water and we got her to hospital immediately." The family found a disposable barbecue in the sand and were told by other visitors a group had buried it before leaving.The seven-year-old was left with burns to her feet after stepping on a throwaway barbecue
Ms Adenaike said: "This is so upsetting and my daughter is now needing further treatment and possibly a skin graft."Swansea council's Cyril Anderson dubbed what happened "horrendous". The cabinet member for community said barbecues stayed hot for hours after use and could cause serious burns."Anyone who thinks that it's OK to bury barbecues or any other waste in the sand on a day out is simply irresponsible and thoughtless to the injuries they can cause to beach users," Mr Anderson added.
