Holding Negligent Manufacturers Accountable
Product manufacturers are mandated by California law to ensure that their products are safe for consumers and to clearly warn consumers should any potential dangers exist. Heating pad manufacturers are not exempt from this legal obligation. If they fail to fulfill this obligation, they can and should be held accountable for any harm done.
By law, heating pad manufacturers may be held liable for the following types of product defects:
- Manufacturing defects: This is when a product is manufactured improperly, such as a heating pad with faulty wiring that causes it to overheat.
- Design defects: These defects exist in the design of the product itself. For instance, the lack of an automatic shut-off on a heating pad could be considered a design defect, as it could lead to extended use that results in burns if the consumer falls asleep.
- Marketing defects: Providing improper or inadequate user instructions and failing to warn consumers of any potential risks the product poses are marketing defects. When a manufacturer does not properly warn consumers of the risks of using a heating pad, they may be held liable for omitting this key data if an unknowing consumer is injured from prolonged use.
Claimants will need to prove that the heating pad was defective and that the defect led to their injury. If this negligence is established, manufacturers may be required to pay damages for pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, disability accommodations, or any other physical and/or psychological injuries sustained by the claimant.

Brands and Products Involved in Heating Pad Injury Claims
Our firm is reviewing potential legal claims involving a variety of defective heating pads and similar products that have caused serious burns and injuries. This includes products manufactured by well-known brands and sold through major retailers and online marketplaces.
Some of the heating pad brands and products that have been the subject of recalls, consumer complaints, or injury reports include:
- Mighty Bliss Heating Pads. Mighty Bliss recalled more than half a million heating pads after reports of overheating, fires, electric shocks, and severe burns. Many consumers purchased these products through Amazon and other online retailers.
- Pure Enrichment Heating Pads. Pure Enrichment products are widely sold online and in major retail stores. Reports have surfaced of pads overheating or failing to shut off properly, leading to injuries during routine use.
- Pure Relief Heating Pads. Pure Relief pads have been associated with burn incidents and malfunctioning auto shut-off mechanisms, raising questions about product safety and compliance with manufacturing standards.
In addition to these brands, defective heating pads are often sold under various private labels, including store brands, third-party marketplace listings, and imported products that do not meet U.S. safety standards. Many of these items are purchased through Amazon, Walmart, Target, and other major retailers.
Even if your heating pad’s brand is not listed here, you may still have a viable claim. Our attorneys investigate all types of heating pads and warming devices, including electric pads, moist heating pads, weighted heating pads, and wearable wraps.

Who Qualifies for a Heating Pad Injury Claim?
Since a primary component of heating pads is the emission of heat, they can be very dangerous when they are defective or poorly manufactured. If your injury is severe then you may be able to obtain compensation for the harm done to you, whether that is a second-degree burn that led you to miss work or a more severe burn that required skin grafting.
Given the intended use of the product, most injuries caused by defective heating pads tend to be burns. Unfortunately, burns can become infected or even be so severe that injured consumers may find themselves suffering from a host of medical issues that require treatment. On the bright side, the law predicted such circumstances and allows victims injured in a variety of ways to pursue compensation.
