Handy Solutions Heating Pad Recall - Burn Hazard
Summary
The FDA issued a Class I recall for 847 Handy Solutions Neck & Shoulders Heating Pads (Number: 25607) manufactured by Ninbo Unico Products Co., Ltd and distributed by Navajo Manufacturing Company. The recall was initiated due to a burn hazard where folding the pad during use causes power density to increase beyond the high limit device's sensing capability, preventing automatic power termination. Distribution was nationwide across California, Mississippi, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Virginia, and Texas.
What changed
Navajo Manufacturing Company initiated a Class I device recall (Z-1588-2026) for 847 Handy Solutions Neck & Shoulders Heating Pads due to a serious burn hazard. When the heating pad is folded during use or placed under the body, the power density in the folded area increases excessively. The high limit safety device cannot sense the localized higher temperature and therefore does not terminate power, creating a risk of burns and fire.
Consumers who own this product should stop using it immediately and check whether their unit (Number: 25607) is affected by the recall. Healthcare providers should identify patients who may have purchased or received this device and advise them to discontinue use. Distributors and retailers should remove remaining inventory from shelves. The recall is classified as Class I, the most serious category, indicating reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death.
What to do next
- Discontinue use of Handy Solutions Neck & Shoulders Heating Pad Number 25607 immediately
- Verify whether any inventory of the recalled product exists in stock and remove from distribution
