Katie Piper has shared a warning regarding hot water bottles along with an easy way to check whether yours is safe for use. The Loose Women panellist, 40, issued some advice to those who use hot water bottles to keep warm via her non-profit organisation, The Katie Piper Foundation, which seeks to help survivors of burns and scars.
Katie founded the foundation after being attacked with acid by her ex-boyfriend and an accomplice in March 2008. Posting to The Katie Piper Foundation's official Instagram account, she urged people to check the date on their hot water bottles and provided a case study from somebody who had suffered severe burns after their hot water bottle burst.
Detailing how to check the date on hot water bottles, the foundation reshared a post which read: "There’s a way to check if your hot water bottle needs replacing, with a handy flower symbol denoting how old it is. "All hot water bottles should have this flower symbol on them.
The number in the middle is year it was made, the flower segments represent the 12 months of the year and the dots inside those represent the number of weeks.
"You're only meant to keep them MAX 3 years and then replace as they aren't safe anymore, if your hot water bottle doesn't have this symbol - get rid asap as it means it's that old!" Katie's warning comes after she underwent surgery in hospital to 'save her eye'.
