  1. No one hurt

    Made Dec 26, 2019, sent to the company Jan 31, 2020, published by CPSC Feb 14, 2020

    The product, in the report: Rafferty Fox. (I am sorry, but my son threw out the box)

    I purchased a Hot Water Bottle Shop stuff animal that has a pouch to microwave to provide heat on a cold night. My grandson, age 10 placed the pouch in our microwave this morning and it melted. He set the time for one minute as instructed on the box. But the little tag on the animal states to sprinkle the pouch with water. My grandson is 10 years old, and it didn’t occur to him to read the care instruction tag. He could have been seriously burned and needless to say the smell is bad. He wasn’t harmed, but this product which I purchased from TJ MAX is unsafe for children.
