Abstract
This article discusses the threats to children from kerosene heaters. The tops of these heaters are designed to heat to 200-300 F, to allow water to boil to provide humidity when the units are in use. Kerosene heaters, on the other hand, are easily portable and frequently are placed in central areas of the home. It would be wise for parents to place the heating unit away from frequented areas of the house and not in a central position. In addition, it is a simple matter to rig up a gate or screen in front of the unit. Parents should be advised not to place boiling water on top of these units.
