Child Burned By Hand Sanitizer

Hand sanitizer is apparently responsible for a fire that injured an 11-year-old girl at Portland’s Doernbecher Children's Hospital.  Ireland Lane was in bed when her shirt caught fire.  Investigators don't know what ignited the fire.  Doctor Stacey Nicholson says this does not mean that hospitals should stop using hand sanitizer.  Lane suffered burn injuries requiring skin grafts.  She was previously treated for cancer and a head injury from a fall.  She was supposed to leave the hospital the day of the fire.
