Dangerous Tea ...

Department of Trade and Industry figures show that tea, including tea accessories such as tea cosies are extremely dangerous in the home! Apparently, over 50 pre-school age children are admitted to A&E departments around the UK every day having been scalded by cups of tea. The tea cosy is a risky household object to have as it can attract young children who grab them, pulling the entire tea pot, including contents, onto themselves.

 So advice from the Health and Safety folks is to use really boring grey tea cosies that wont attract the attention of young children!
