We were prescribed an enuresis alarm by my daughter's pediatrician.We used a night hawk alarm for 2 months with little to no success.Then we were advised to switch brands and use a malem alarm.It has been a horrible experience.At least the night hawk alarm did not burn our child.The malem has been erratic since the first night we used it.The first night it was used, we noticed that the alarm was getting warm when the sensor was connected.We did not use it that night.The second night, the same thing happened and we thought it was normal for an electronic device to warm up a bit when used.But the alarm is actually dangerous.My daughter was crying in pain when we reached her.The alarm had burnt her in her neck.When we examined the alarm, its plastic case had bent from heat and the batteries had leaked inside the alarm.There is a mechanical and electrical issue with this product.How can a device burn a child who is sleeping on their neck? i can understand a failure after months of use if it were dropped, but this device was 2 days old.My daughter was taken to the emergency room in the middle of the night.We never want to have to deal with this again.She is terrified and so are we.The alarm has been left with the hospital.
