What scares me is they mention that lower temps mean no burning kids or pets. Anything warm enough to melt wax, even the lowest temps I could think of, hot wax on a child or pet would burn them!!! In regards to the hot wax. I used to rep. for Scentsty before I started to make my own candles and I can tell you that the wax gets hot but does not burn. I would place the warmer on one of my end tables in the living room and my two year old got curious and happened to pull at the bowl causing the wax to come splashing all over his face. The scent I was using was Mac Apple and so the color was red. I seriously thought he was burned but I was wrong. The wax cooled right away and I was able to just peel the wax off of him. It did not even stick to his eyebrows. Needless to say I started to place the warmer out of reach for him. Out of curiosity the next time I warmed the wax up I stuck my hand in to see how hot it was when it hit his little face and yes it was hot but it did not burn. Laura
