A mum has issued a serious warning after a hot water bottle left her with "horrendous" burns.
Helen Cowell was using a hot water bottle to help treat her back pain. However, things took a turn for the worse when it burst, leaving her with burns to her leg and bottom.
Speaking of the incident that happened last April, Helen said: "I put it on the side of my leg while I was laying on the couch and it perished in the middle and went all over me. I can’t even explain the pain," Wales Online reports.
