The product, in the report: Heating Pad
Caller is reporting that the heating pad and used and left plugged in but has an automatic shutoff, apparently it did not shut off. Her son arrived home and smelled and a burning odor and discovered that the heating pad had overheated and started to emit smoke and flames. He was able to contain the flames and threw a blanket over stamped out the flames and then placed it in sinking using baking soda. The heating pad also scorched the floor where it was located.
Caller stated that if her son did not arrive home within that time there would have been an house fire. She stated that her son had returned to the home less than an hour when the heat pad was used.
The manufacturer was not contacted as yet.
Caller feels that this heating pad is afire hazard and should be reported.

The product, in the report: Heating Pad
First your data base is corrupt I registered early this morning saved it yet it would not recognize me later. However when I gave up and tried to start all over it said I had already registered and I had to use another address.
A heating pad bought from Walmart does not turn off, I am on my fifth one and it does the same thing. Unless you unplug it gets dangerously hot!

The product, in the report: Kaz Softheat Heating Pad
I purchased a a Kaz Softheat heating pad. After using this product I incurred severe 2nd degree burns and may need skin grafting due to the severity of the burns.The pad has an auto shutoff. I don’t know if that doesn’t work or if the pad was manufactured in a defective manner. I am writing because I do not want someone else to experience the pain that I had for almost a month now from using a product that is advertised to help relieve pain.
