Toddler Burned By Usb Cord

This happened in my small town in the past few days. With all the discussions about usb PT and chargers, I thought this might be interesting to some of you with little ones.

Thanks Bird!! My kids are old enough not to chew on usb cables ( I think ), but I do have a grandson that is 1 year old and visits.

Obviously all cables should be put away, but I figure the voltage and amps are pretty low on a USB. Based on the article, looks like there is some doubt there as well as they have an electrician going through the house. Granted, a mouth makes a good conductor but that's a lot of damage.

I have not read anything that was posted in regards to sending wishes to the family. Not to get all metaphysical, but just thinking good thoughts about the little girl and her family will do wonders.
