Two newborn babies in OB-GYN clinic in Anyang, Korea suffered severe burns due to the negligence of the neonatal staff, local media reported Friday.

One was only two days old and the other was three days old.

The two infants were reportedly placed on electric heating pads but the neonatal staff did not properly check the temperature of the pads.

According to Yonhap News, one infant suffered fourth-degree burns and was in a critical condition. The clinic claims that the heating pads malfunctioned.

Police are investigating the cause of the incident, which occurred early this month.
