Overheard from our friends:

"Thank you so much for the Mr. Blister bath thermometer and information on avoiding burns.  I received it 3 1/2 years ago, and it still helps me immensely.  We just had our second child, and now my toddler helps prepare the infant's bath water with the thermometer card. 

I am much more comfortable bathing her when I know the water temperature is right.  The information you sent on avoiding burns changed my habits - I now turn pot handles in, don't drink scalding liquids, and have educated my toddler to keep a safe distance form the oven and stove. Your work has made us all safer and happier.  Thank you very much!!"
