I never thought an electric blanket would get that hot.
I have burned my self so many ways. The worst was dropping a cup of
coffee. I had an insulated cup that got so hot it burned my hand and
leg. I rest my cup on a pillow on my lap often leaning it on my stomach.
I'v burned my stomach many times.

I am so sorry. We need to really check our roho’s every day but we
don’t. I have heard of many people getting burned On heating pads and
electric blankets, since I first joined the Quad-list.
I recently was burned when my hot coffee glass’s straw broke . It was
a Drink Aide straw attached to insulated mug that I got at CVS. We
Were duct taping it together. A caregiver was not carefully watching
and it siphoned .I am now I am using a Fleximug by Fleming. You can
order different lengths of straws. We don’t know we are getting burned
because we can’t feel.
I have had long straw siphon quite a number of times causing burns,
but I didn’t need surgery. They did need debriefing and wound care
appointments for several weeks .
It is terribly unfortunate that the Roho Corporation cannot make a
device to check the quantro cushion for the proper air distribution .
Why sell a product that can cause wounds on Spinal cord injuries. It
has happened to me several times .

I wanted to dress up a bit for a photo, jeans instead of sweats.
Only 1 day and I got a sore on my butt. It was not bad, but kept
getting worse. Found out I was bottoming out my Roho. The cover I
used was a bit too big. So the Roho was spreading out too much.
Now last night my shoulder really hurt so I used a heating pad.
Like a mini electric blanket 2x2 feet. It left a big burn blister
about 2 inches.
