My husband purchased a malem bedwetting alarm (ultimate mode) for our (b)(6) y/o daughter.It was intended to help her stop bedwetting.The system beeps when it detects urine.But our alarm has operated dangerously.I explained it to my daughter and set it up for her.She went to bed and within half an hour, she was screaming in her bed.We ran up to her room, only to find her crying and tugging on her shirt.The alarm was super hot.I reached out to remove it, but it was just too hot to hold.I removed her shirt and left the alarm on it.There was burning plastic smell in the room.My daughter was scared and i noticed a big red patch on her neck.That patch was clearly from the hot alarm which burnt her.I took her to the dr's office who said that this is not the first reported incident of a malem alarm injuring a child's sleep.We are so scared to use any other such product.The alarm finally stopped heating up.The batteries leaked out and its shape changed from heat.Daughter recovered from her skin burn but still suffered mental trauma which is still there even after a week.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
