Tipping Hazard with Cup Noodles vs. Bowl Noodles

In 2006, researchers studied the tipping hazard of instant noodle cups vs. bowls and trays. They have found that cups with a tall, narrow design were most likely to tip over. The researchers concluded that “Simple redesigning of instant soup packaging with a wider base and shorter height… would reduce the frequency of soup burns.”

It has been many years since this study was published. Although experts have called for manufacturers to phase out the hazardous cup design, soup companies have ignored this research and continued to sell products that are extremely hazardous to children.

Child Burn Injury from Instant Noodle Soup

Every year, thousands of children suffer scalding burns from hot soup. Some doctors report several cases per week involving noodle soup burn injuries. These soups can be heated in a microwave to extremely hot temperatures. In some cases, children who are scalded by hot soup have required weeks of treatment in a hospital, skin grafts, surgery, and more.

Studies have found that “Noodle soup causes a significantly longer hospital stay than other types of soup” because the noodles stay hotter longer than watery soups and stick to a person’s skin.

Symptoms of a soup burn in children:

  • First-degree burns: Red, swollen skin, some pain.
  • Second-degree burns:: Bright-red, swollen, blistered, severe pain.
  • Third-degree burns: Skin is white, leathery, dry, or waxy. No pain because the nerves are damaged.
