Woman claims she was left with third degree burns from Woolworths product
A Queensland woman claims that has been left with horrifying third degree burns after a Woolworth’s popular buy exploded in the oven.
Angela, who is a huge fan of the Bag n Bake because of its convenience, placed her dinner in the oven and went about her business.
When it was time to take it out, she opened the oven and the bag exploded all over her arm.
“It’s an oven-proof bag, it’s meant to go in the oven. But on this occasion, the bag just exploded open and the sauce that was in it came out,” she told 7News.
“The sugar in the marinade made it even hotter. It was so, so painful.”
Angela immediately ran her arm under cold water and put burn cream on it before serving dinner.
In shock at the nasty burn, Angela eventually went to the doctor who was unsure of how bad the burn was.
“He put all this cream on it, non-stick gauze on it and then triple wrapped it so it would stay moist the whole time.
A few days later, Angela went to her family doctor who told her to come back every two days to get it cleaned and redressed.
Sharing photos to the Woolworths Facebook page, the supermarket requested Angela get in touch with them to help resolve the issue.
However, Angela claims the worker who gave her the Bag n Bake did not seal it properly and there may have been a bad batch of bags.
She said she was happy with the way Woolworths handled the incident, who she said will remain in touch to ensure she is okay.
Angela is still feeling a bit miserable about the scar being in a noticeable place and that it won’t disappear.
