First aid Made Jun 6, 2026, sent to the company Jun 10, 2026, published by CPSC Jun 26, 2026
The product, in the report: Electric Heating Pad with digital controller, gray color, approximately 12 x 24 inches. Purchased through Amazon on January 11, 2026. Product used for warmth and pain relief.
A QALTGC electric heating pad (Model HP11-001A) experienced a dangerous electrical failure during normal household use. The product was purchased new on January 11, 2026, and had been in service for approximately five months.
An elderly user was using the heating pad as intended for warmth and comfort when the power cord at the point where it enters the handheld controller overheated, melted, and began arcing. Visible sparks were observed, the cord insulation melted, and electrical conductors became exposed. The user received an electrical shock to the hand during the incident. The unit was immediately unplugged and removed from service.
Photographs taken immediately after the incident show melted insulation, exposed copper conductors, and burn damage at the controller cord entry point. The failed product has been preserved.
Of additional concern, a smoke detector located in the same bedroom activated the previous day without an obvious cause being identified at that time. While it is unknown whether the events were related, the timing raises concern that overheating may have occurred before the electrical failure.
No significant physical injury was immediately apparent, and no medical treatment was required at the time of the incident. However, the event involved an electrical shock to a user and presented a potential fire hazard due to electrical arcing and overheating.
