14-Year-Old Catches Fire While Trying to Remove Nail Polish

- Nail polish remover and a burning candle too close together is a dangerous combination. Kennedy suffered third-degree burns after catching fire while doing her nails. “I had a candle on my bed lit there and when I went to go sit down with my nail polish remover, it caught it and kind of just exploded,” Kennedy, 14, says. She has undergone weeks of treatment. “I learned mostly to be more aware of the things around me to just take a little bit more precaution,” she says.
First error… putting a lit candle on your bed. Glad she’s doing ok!!
right
What is wrong with that? Iam from Kerala ❤️
@@Aswin76541there is so much wrong with that😭😭
@@Venn_9236 It's her mistake..
@@Venn_9236 Iam from kerala ❤️
She had a candle ON the bed? Baby...bless her sweet little heart. I hope she recovers fast and doesn't put candles in places they don't belong lol
I caught that also like damn why the bed???😫it could've caught the covers and sheets ablaze.
mu first thought
Parents need to teach.
@@chancemathews7057That's what science class is for
Who tf puts a candle right on there bed she couldn’t put it on a night stand or something? a table ?
Putting a candle on the bed is the biggest mistake! Never put open-flammable substances on where you sleep!
and never put it next to something super flammable lol. Literally why candles and anything flammable has warnings. Sounds like shes too young to even have either lol
"Did you stop, drop and roll" is the single best thing I've heard all day😂😂
I'm sure she continued 😅
I felt so bad for the girl being interviewed when the reporter asked that.
🤣
@@evanwilliams9588 Why? It is fire safety 101. I remember being taught that at 4 years old.
@@B_27 because it’s fire safety 101 and the girl had been told that since she was 4 years old.
14 year old me would never have thought to place any candle on a bed.
5 year old me would have never thought it.
I wonder why she is even using candles in the first place, it's not like there's a power outage?
@@xlintxpeople use candles lol
@@xlintx you've never heard of scented candles lmao
@@fortunamajor7239 Sorry, because I've never had someone who had their bedroom smelling terribly.
Nail polish remover is very flammable. I’m so sorry she went through this
Nail polish 💅🏼 in liquid form is also flammable. You can literally use it as a fuse.
It’s my big cousin/sister and she is doing really well we went out last weekend and she is so so good
@@emilyedgington2430 that’s so awesome
Yep. Remember those dumb kids who did the "fire challenge" years ago with nail polish remover and rubbing alcohol?
@@emilyedgington2430 That's good! Make sure she doesn't leave candles lit overnight, and doesn't leave them near flammable things anymore.
People also need to be very careful with hand sanitizer. Wasn't there a video a few years ago about a lady who used hand sanitizer and then she lit the candles on a birthday cake and caught herself on fire? I remember something like that.
Oh really now? Using hand sanitizer on a birthday cake and catches on fire? I will keep that in mind. Didn't know it could happen.
@@sonicgalaxy27 I think she had sanitized her hands just before she lit the candles because she wanted to be sanitary when serving the cake. So scary!!
i once got hand sanitizer but no burning ofc but it did burn my eyes cause IT STINGS i try get it AND IT SQUASTES TO MY EYE ;-;
That’ll get you real clean!
now my eye is clean
Someone failed as a parent teaching fire safety.
Everyone knows not to use acetone near an open flame- if you don't, it's your fault or your parents' fault for not informing you.
It's literally written as a warning on all nail polish remover bottles.
Secondly, it's common sense to never put a candle on a soft surface like a bed. This is why children cannot be unsupervised with open flames.
Where the hell were her parents?!
Sometimes mistakes just happen 🤷 when I was a little kid (pre-teen and maybe 7 or so), my mother explicitly told me not to touch the lightbulb of my lamp because it was very hot and could burn me. And as only an inexperienced dumb kid can do, of course, one chilly night I decided to get my hands close anyway... And ended up touching it when I was startled by a noise shortly after! One hell of a burn blister. Despite knowing it was hot and not to touch it, the danger of putting my hands *near* the thing I shouldn't touch still didn't fully set in, and it was not as though my mother could monitor me 24/7. In my dumb kid head, I thought I had a safe distance, though the reality was different... Well, my lesson was certainly learned!
Kids learn by experience more often than not, and though they may know in theory that something is bad or dangerous, it's not always something they think about in the moment. Common sense isn't innate but learned, and when we're young is usually when we make our most foolish mistakes... Some more than others! They might know nail polish remover is flammable and shouldn't be near open flames, but they don't really grasp the full scope of that danger, or what "being near" really means. Especially past a certain age (definitely as a teenager), kids get more independence and aren't likely to be under constant supervision, too. It's just something that happens when growing up, and while parents absolutely have a responsibility to teach their children and mitigate the possibility of an accident, it's simply impossible to intentionally avoid altogether forever. There's a factor of luck and chance in life that exists regardless of a parent's will.
In this case, there definitely should have been a house rule about not lighting candles unsupervised, or at least a clear discussion about keeping it in a clear space on a stable surface... But we also don't have every fact, and it could very well be that this girl knew not to do it, but - without thinking deeply about the real potential consequences - decided that it'd be alright this once.
I don't disagree with you entirely! But life is all about living and learning. Maybe their parents did fail in some way, or maybe this was just a bad stroke of chance and luck, but even the most attentive parent can't prevent the possibility of every problem.
*Minor edit for a missed word!
I’ve never taught my kids not to put lit candles on the bed. I guess they just weren’t bright enough to think of doing it yet🧐.
@@bamflrShe's 14, a teenager. A person her age should've already know better not to put a lit candle near anything flammable, let alone on her bed.
It's not a mistake, she just unknowingly looking for a trouble.
@@michelejackson7934 Some of us just have to learn the hard way, and that's why you've got trends like "lay down in the middle of the road" that persist until enough kids or their friends get run over for them to realize maybe it's not such a hot idea. 😭
@@bamflr It’s true. I probably should feel bad about myself that I don’t feel sorry for these types, but I don’t.
I think this is a great reminder to REVIEW fire 🔥 safety with our kids. Wow ! 😳
I hope both young ladies recover completely. 🙏🏽
I don't even allow my two boys to have candles in their room, let alone on the bed. I am glad she is ok. *Parents, please do a better job teaching your children about safety when using candles.*
This sounds harsh but this is an entire common sense situation. I understand there's a lot of things we may consider common sense that actually arent, we just got lucky with good guardians but... CANDLE ON A BED???
@@boopbooperson1654 exactly, I just wanna know what made her think it was ok to put a candle on her bed, and not just that but nail remover beside it, like what??
@@Cloudy__gaming I really hate to say it but I don't feel bad for her... it sucks that she'll have permanent scarring but at least she'll remember now. Every time she looks at it she'll remember fire safety.
I can't believe she didn't think to stop drop and roll... and a candle on a bed??
I grew up using candles for light since I was a small child. It's all how you raised your children and how you teach your children. I also learned how to light fires in our fireplace and take care of an oil lamp. My parents never told me not to touch the hot stove but taught me how to check if I could touch the stove. I learned about fire,fire safety, how flammable different things where and what to do if there was a fire and how to smother a fire. I also learned the different ways fires could start. I know someone who's just finished drying towels Burst into flames in their basket.
Never use nail polish remover or air freshener near open flames
Or at all.
Or how about not putting a lit candle on your bed? My dad is right. This generation lacks common sense; sometimes
Never use nail polish remover in a non ventilated room...
Or hair spray or Mylar balloons or silly string
Or hair spray.
This just proves that parents need to be teaching their kids common sense every day, life knowledge and skills.
Exactly this
This is more a case of a freak accident, not a case of a kid not having “common sense.”
It's "common" only after it's learned
There endless possible dangers in life that you wouldn’t even think to tell your kids.
Like who thinks to tell their child “don’t have a candle on your bed while doing your nails.”
Like who thinks of this! Accidents happen.
I was not allowed candles in my room so that is a good pace to start but teens don’t always listen unfortunately
@@JanieGal16Well, I'm afraid I have to disagree cause you should not have a lit candle on your bed, which can be set on fire if the candle falls.
Excuse me.... a candle on the bed
Thats what im saying
I’d be embarrassed as absolute hell. I wouldn’t want anyone to know I’m that air headed lol even at 14 come on! There’s girls that have babies at that age and she’s setting herself on fire in the most preventable way. My mother would have killed me if I did something so stupid and careless lol
I feel bad for her but...was she never taught anything??
@@xobelladonna2443 nobody has kids at that age 😂 it was stupid mistake why u gotta be so serious she learnt her lesson and hope she has a speedy recovery.
Candle on the bed is crazy
i knoww i mean i’m so glad she’s okay but why did she do that 😅
It sure is!!!
@@dravidianalchemist its possible her parents never went over fire safety with her. it sounds crazy but its common behavior for a lot of neglectful parents
@@Misa-Aname yeah that’s true
Kids and parents learn and teach that nail polish remover is flammable. Literally says on every bottle.
Okay but I’m not letting my sister get hate comments
Good for you girl! Who’s reading the label of nail polish remover?? NO ONE @@emilyedgington2430
The girl said she knew it was flammable but didn't think about it.
"Did you stop drop and roll?"
What kind of question is that? 💀
many of these reporters lack empathy and it's apparent by their line of questioning
That was a great question because she didn't stop drop or roll, she stood and shook 😂
@@woefulmelancholy if she didn't know that you shouldn't have a lit candle on the bed, why would she be expected to know basic fire safety 🤦🏼♀️
@@woefulmelancholy Imagine finding out your friend caught on fire or something and your first question is "Did you stop drop and roll?". There were other questions that could've been asked and she went straight to that one 💀
Is poor kid can even say one sentence without liking it
It’s not surprising. Many people don’t make the connection between vapors and flame. Glad she will be ok.
The container says it’s highly flammable
She’s 14 genius
It still says flammable on the bottle, she's 14, bro can read@@lindseysanford1843
@lindseysanford1843 a 14 year old knows what's flammable and what's not genius
@@lindseysanford184314 not 4. Lest we forget shes less than 4 years away from voting and driving and living on her own. Im guessing you were just like her huh? Bless your heart
@@lindseysanford1843At 14 I absolutely knew that nail polish remover (acetone and/or ethyl acetate) was flammable. I used to light small amounts of it on fire at that age, as young boys do. By the way, news flash: 14 year olds can read, so she should have seen the big red warning on the bottle.
new fear unlocked
Nope. Not a fear. Just stupid
just dont put lit candles on your bed next to bottles of flammable liquid
Nawl just don't do stupid stuff
Candles on the bed....what the hell?????
Avoid candles to be on the safe side
Just keep a candle on a table or on top of your dresser away from flammable stuff
Wow..I've been burned before when my brother dropped a pot pie right out of the oven onto my arm when I was 7 but nothing like these young ladies have experienced..I'm wishing them both a full recovery 💛
Did you still eat the pie?
@@drunkenhobo5039LOLLL

@@Chisthebest0 He has a point
Burning candle on the bed? Oh my goodness. I weep for the future.
I'm sorry about the third degree burns and the girl's room all and am glad that she's ok, but even at 14, you should know better than to put candles on a bed, especially since beds can be more flammable than an average desk.
I’m praying for both girls. Happy they can live to tell her story.
I am glad she’s doing well! Beautiful girls and beautiful voice. 🙏🏽
My parents never allowed me to have a candle in my room growing up. My mom wouldn't even allow my sisters and I to use nail polish anything except in the washroom. Glad shes okay though, still a scary and painful experience. I want to know what her parents now have to deal with in the home. There's no way they're allowed to live inside it.
I'm glad she's ok. But why did she had a candle on her bed in the first place ?
parents forget to teach kids fire safety and unfortunately it results in terrible consequences like these
I get SHES only 14 I’m soo happy that SHES alive and well . But plz explain too me why would u have nail polish and nail polish remover near an open flame 🔥 she’s old enough too know this is my question 🙋🏽♀️????
on the bed too
This really isnt common knowledge. Both of them didn't realize the vapor would catch fire too.
@nate6045 still, she knew the liquid is flammable
@@nate6045for real now it’s common to be on your phone all day
@@ImLVLegitcusImthasht but it wasn't the liquid that caught fire. It was the vapor.
Thank God they both survived to share their stories!
A Lit candle on tge bed... And then Acetone next to it? This calls for disaster.
I still hope she is okay.
I’m glad she’s ok
y she put a candle on her bed?
She had it coming
She's very intelligent 🧠 with good ideas 💡
Some people children!!
@@bryanthernandez9769 yah cause even i wouldn’t put a candle on my bed cause the comforter can catch on fire with one wrong tuck
I was thinking the same thing about the candle being on her bed.... Sounds & seems like if it hadn't been the Nail polish remover that caught on fire, it would have been the bedding/blankets🙄🤦♀️
teenagers make mistakes.
Reminds me of something stupid I did when I was that age. I thought I was scared when I took a piece of cotton soaked in nail polish remover off of the dresser and saw the paint taken right off. I was absolutely terrified of how my parents were going to react. I can't imagine how they would have reacted if they discovered I had a lit candle on my bed. Kids make mistakes. I'm glad it wasn't worse than it could have been and I hope she recovers fast!
My older sister did the same exact thing to my mothers end table in the living room.
My dad was furious.
That’s such a scary situation to be in I hope she is doing better
Well, she learned the hard way now. Wishing a prompt recovery.
A reminder to use extra extra caution when using chemicals especially around fire
That is insane and sounds scary.. I hope she continues to get better. The burns looked terrible. She is such a strong girl. ❤
Teach your children about fire safety. I really hope she recovers quickly. I have been extremely paranoid about fires. My best friend's house caught on fire when we were kids. Ever since then, I've been extra vigilant about fire safety. We don't do any open flames at all.
It is on the bottle that it is flammable right? Or does it say DO NOT USE NEAR OPEN FLAME
It's probably a very common misconception that "flammable liquid" just means it'll explode if the liquid itself touches fire, like pouring gasoline on a flame. Most people don't realize that the vapors can be the problem, not just the liquid itself
Did she say she had the candle in the bed?
Yes she did. I’m like why is there a candle on her bed for.
Yes, she's very intelligent!! With a very good education!! Candle 🕯️+ bed 🛏️ = Fire 🔥 in the house 🏠 Very good 💡

Poor girls. I feel bad for them. They both learned a very hard but very valuable lesson. I’m so glad they’re both going to be okay.

Sorry for her this is terrible. Be cautious whenever there's fire near you. You can also try the nail polish pads. The cost is a bit more but it could be a bit safer.
bless her but very empty headed

ok, i understand not knowing that the fumes from nail polish remover could start a fire if near a flame, because I didn't. mainly due to the fact i don't wear nail polish so no use for nail polish remover, and i don't light a candle unless there's a power outage; but having a candle ON YOUR BED is a big NO-NO, no matter what!
Thank goodness she’s getting all The Help she needs.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I use candles and nail-polish remover together ALL THE TIME! I’m also going through a lot of life-changing loss and she is an inspiration for me.
The liquid will NOT burn. It's ALWAYS the fumes that burn. The heat from the candle's flame causes the air to around the flame to rise. The air in the room moves toward the candle following the rising air. That air movement draws the acetone fumes toward the flame. Acetone is used to make acetylene gas. Acetylene gas is what welders use to burn through steel.
Crazy to think we need to a video to explain this. I knew those things were flammable before I was 5..
Wow! Did she say: at the end of the day, it’s just skin. She still young. Bless her.

This is an example of what’s wrong with this era in my opinion, and it’s not to say im perfect, but it is to say something as simple as knowing fire away from bed and me is something even an ( in the most literal sense ) uncivilized animal would know.

Hopefully she makes a great recovery!
A bigger warning needs to be on the polish remover. Lots of young girls like to use nail polish, they need to be forewarned.
That poor kid, I'm real sorry that happened to her, but please, please be more careful from now on, I'm pleased you're doing better now ♥
I've dealt with Nail Polish remover before, but...I never used it next to an open flame...I'm probably one of those people who'd be afraid to go even near a battery operated candle in that situation.
People nowadays don't use their heads to prevent things from happening. They're more of a hands on learner.
probably cause she’s a child and has no life experience to know these things or THINK about them, that’s why parents need to teach their kids more
@@bradentheman1373ok, but the lit candle on the bed I mean come on. I get she's young but you should atleast know that putting a candle on a bed could be dangerous cause it could fall over on accident and set the bed on fire and things would have been much worse, so thank God that didn't happen. Even my 5-year-old brother knows not to have any flame near any furniture or anything. Plus she could have just gone to the bathroom and removed her nail polish there
Oh my goodness! Glad she's going to be ok.

Thank you for sharing this!!!
When I was 14, I'm still playing outside our house with my neighbours. No scented candle thing, no manicure pedicure. That's for adult stuff only.
