What was supposed to be a peaceful winter night turned into a nightmare for a Gauteng woman after her rechargeable hot water bottle burned her leg overnight, leaving her with blisters.
Grace Matshoba suffered burn wounds to her leg as a result of her rechargeable hot water bottle touching her bare skin during the night while she was asleep.
I made sure I had removed the bottle from the charger before taking it to bed with me. I thought nothing would happen because it had a heating and protection function and Id used it a couple of times before without any issues, Matshoba said.
