As a follow-up to our entry on 20-4-07 about the girl who got her fingers burned off in a hideous accident. At school, she put her hand in a bucket of plaster of paris as part of an art project (to make a cast of her hand). The plaster heated up (as it does) and caused horrific injuries.
The girl has won a payout in court - see Sky News article.
We at RAM consider plaster of paris should be banned for body casting purposes. Does anyone else have any views anecdotes on this subject?
