Burns:
Large amounts of flames surrounding the cookpot burn hands and ignite clothes
Flames exiting the fuel loading area can easily burn nearby children and adults, as well as ignite clothes
Excessive cookstove handle temperatures cause improper use and lead to injuries
Excessively high surface temperatures can cause injusries even with minimal contact·

4. The expulsion of embers from burning fuel can result in burns to the body, particularly to the eye, and may include property damage
Scalds:
Protrusions along the upper edges of the cooking surface create obstructions when moving heated pots from the stove and cause boiling water to be spill over

5. Stoves that do not maintain a stable upright orientation result in spilling boiling contents onto persons (especially children) and cause scalds
Property loss:
Containment of fire is important so that the fire stays within the stove
Large amounts of heat transmission to surroundings can cause combustibles in the area of the cookstove to be ignited

6. Cuts:
Sharp edges or points often result in cuts but may also cause the cookstove to tip over if clothes become entangled
