First aid Made Dec 18, 2012, sent to the company Jan 7, 2013, published by CPSC Jan 29, 2013
The product, in the report: thermal-Aid 100% NATURAL Heating and Cooling Pack. Beige Teddy Bear--called Honey. Costco UPC Code No.: 8-12249-01251-1.
On Sunday, December 16, 2012, my 15 year old daughter heated her new thermal-Aid teddy bear (Patent No.: 7,179,280-7,182,777-D525,365) which we bought at Costco (Costco UPC Code No.: 8-12249-0125-1) in the microwave for one minute as prescribed by the manufacturer’s instructions. Five minutes after heating the teddy bear, it went on fire. I had to quickly immerse the teddy bear under cold water for an extended period of time. I then had to open the windows in the house because it smelled of smoke. This product is extremely dangerous!!!!! It is not a safe product and should not be given to any child or individual. It should be taken off the market and any similar products should be removed as well. I am reporting this incident to prevent a potential death from the use of this product. I will take a picture of the teddy bear. There is a burnt black hole on the teddy bear’s face.
