Did you know that your hot water bottle has an expiry date?

As the weather turns colder, you might not be thinking of flowers, but this daisy can help prevent serious burns. 🌼

Did you know that on the neck of every hot water bottle is a daisy which shows when it was manufactured? Once a hot water bottle is more than 2 years old, the rubber or PVC can begin to degrade, crack or leak, increasing your risk of getting injured, so it is important to know how old yours is before you use it.

These simple steps can prevent painful injuries:
✅ Always check the manufacturing date stamped on your hot water bottle.
✅ If it’s more than 2 years old, replace it – even if it looks fine.
✅ Never use boiling water, and avoid overfilling.

Stay warm, stay safe. ❄️
