Abstract
The observations by Lukefahr and Ezekiel regarding scald burns and the potentially harmful recommendations by some manufacturers of automatic dishwasher detergent brands are well taken.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has supported changes in building codes to stipulate that water heaters be set at safe temperature levels (125 to 130°F) when installed and model state legislation was drafted requiring all water heaters leased or sold to be preset at 120°F. Manufacturers' acceptance and adherence is anticipated.
