Harris Baba threatens to sue LV showroom for a mishap involving his daughter

3 Nov, 2017
Harris Baba threatens to sue LV showroom for a mishap involving his daughter

A hot light covering from the KL showroom fell on the singer's eight and a half-month-old daughter causing burns on her hand and face.

Harris Baba, the famous singer from Singapore is fuming with rage. And justifiably so, as his daughter suffered from burns caused by a mishap at one of the Louis Vuitton stores in Malaysia. 

The horror story of Harris Baba

A few days back, Harris Baba was shopping with his daughter at the Louis Vuitton Showroom in KL, Malaysia. And that is when a light cover fell on his infant daughter. The ‘very hot light cover’ from the store in the Gardens Mall at Mid Valley City
caused superficial second degree burns on Aleena Ziya’s face and both the hands according to a report. And Harris has decided to sue the showroom for negligence.

Explaining the reason for legal action, he explains that he cannot see his baby girl in this situation. Even though the store staff has apologised, it does not mean that they will take steps to prevent it from happening again. An apology does not change the fact that the poor girl has suffered. And so, he is planning to sue just to ensure that safety measures would be taken.

It might take a few weeks for his daughter’s wounds to recover. Our love is with her…

What to do if your baby suffers from burns?

Burns can be because of many reasons. Hot burns may be due to dry heat like a flame, contact with something hot, like in this case, or due to a hot liquid, causing scalding. A cold burn is when the skin is damaged due to contact with ice for a prolonged period of time or chemicals like liquid nitrogen for even a short duration. 

As parents, the most common types of burns you may encounter in children are the ones caused by

  • dry heat
  • hot liquids
  • contact with a hot surface

In these cases, knowing first-aid is essential. Though the management is slightly different, the basic principles remain the same

  1. Remove the source of heat. If a part of clothing is on fire, douse it by wrapping the baby in a blanket or by using water. 
  2. Try and remove the clothing, but leave it if it is stuck
  3. Hold the wound under running cold water for 10-20 minutes. DO NOT use ice. Do not apply herbal remedies.
  4. Assess if the wound is serious. It is serious if 
    1. it is bigger than the size of the person’s palm
    2. it is on the face, hand, or feet
    3. it looks like a deep burn.

If it is, take him to a hospital. Before that, use a cling-film to wrap the wound to avoid loss of fluids.

If it is not serious, you can keep it open or use Opsite Flexifix or something similar. 

Mums, do not ignore a burn as in babies, even a small burn can cause complications later on.
