We rented out malem bedwetting alarm to patient who has reported having an adverse effect with alarm.The patient's parents have reported that the young girl has been injured while she was sleeping in bed by the alarm.We have encountered problems with this brand of alarm in the past but we thought that it was an isolated incident and did not report it.Now, we have had a similar incident.In both situations, the alarm has malfunctioned and injured the child.The alarm gets overheated under normal operation causing the batteries to leak out and spill on the child's clothing.Both children were bruised by the battery leak and the hot alarm.There are no burn marks in either case because the child woke up on time and removed the alarm.It is important to note that the issue is a mechanical or electrical design issue with the product which could be potentially dangerous to a sleeping child.
