If these are in fact those, that's a good price! But no thanks, I'm driving.

![Introductory paragraph of an article about deaths caused by or with washing machines in South Korea:
"A washing machine is a convenient device used to clean laundry, which comprises a large part of housework. It is often not considered to be a dangerous appliance, but it can result in serious injuries or death [1], [2]. The most frequently reported age at injury is between 1 and 2 years [1]. Children < 5 years and males are particularly at risk of sustaining injury, and infants are at a higher risk of drowning in bathtubs, toilets, or washing machines [1]. Few cases of washing machine–related accidental death in children have been reported [1], [2], [3], with the cause of death being asphyxia due to hypoxia. The current literature does not include statistical research or articles reviewing washing machine–related deaths. In particular, data on washing machine–related suicides have not been reported to date. As adults may use washing machines to die by suicide, this study retrospectively reviewed the status of washing machine–related deaths in South Korea and compared their characteristics with those of bathtub-related deaths."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qw4kgq2t6kiyk2slk7qaxxei/bafkreihj4ct5wsx4gmdht3jrwvgvm723ia5t5gvaaonyqyd5tspbgpgw7y)
