• Tanning Salons. There are those who are interested in getting a tan to have a perfectly golden appearance. However, they are putting themselves at risk of getting skin cancer. Unfortunately, many are not aware of these potential hazards, which is why there have been thousands of cases of people suffering injuries or being sent to the emergency room. 

• Hair Salons. From blow dryers to strong chemicals, there are a variety of ways for someone to get burned in a hair salon. There have been more styles emerging, with one including actual flames. Surprisingly, hair salon chemicals are very common. If a salon causes a burn injury on a client, the client must show proof of the hairstylist or salon’s negligence.
• Restaurant Accidents. When you order food or a drink at a restaurant, you are expecting either one to arrive hot. However, the restaurant may be liable if what they serve is dangerously hot. They may also be at-fault for serving something extremely hot without warning the customer about it. 
• Home Accidents. Common accidents that occur at home include:

• Cooking. You can suffer from a burn if you touch food that is extremely hot.
• Boiling water. This can jump out of the pan and land on your arm. Additionally, if you are making hot tea, you could burn yourself pouring the tea into a cup. Electric burns and chemical burns may also take place at home. These would typically be covered by either your personal health insurance or homeowners’ insurance.

• Work Accidents. There are several job occupations that can put you at risk of getting a burn injury. This includes chefs, construction workers, equipment cleaners, or firefighters. Burns on the job should be covered by your employer’s insurance policy.

1. Defective product manufacturing. As the product is being physically manufactured, errors could result in the process. Factory owners may feel obligated to cover up their mistakes which can subject them to liability. Examples of manufacturing defects are:

• Cell phone batteries that overheat due to the battery management system failing. 
• Personal heaters that burst into flames after reaching a certain temperature.

1. Defective product design. This indicates a flaw in the product that was made during the designing process. An entire batch of the product could be defective. Those who suffer a burn injury from this can recover damages due to the defective design. 

1. Failing to show warning signs or adequate directions about how to correctly use the product. This occurs when a product does not have any warning labels about the dangers it may have that require an individual to have extra caution. Examples of a failure-to-warn-claim include:

• A specific type of chemical used in a cosmetic product that is being sold without instructions on how to apply it safely and which has the potential to burn someone’s skin
• An electric tea kettle that is packaged without warning signs regarding its abnormally positioned steam valve.

• E-cigarettes. 
• Automobiles.
• Vaping devices.
• Gas grills,
• Lithium batteries,
• Electric blankets, or 
• Portable heaters. 

Those who suffer a burn injury due to a faulty product can suffer a 1st degree, 2nd degree, or 3rd-degree burn. The seriousness of the injury depends on the intensity of the burn and how much contact it makes with your skin.
