World Class is recalling about 25 "GSI electronic 50W indoor pet heating comfort pad mats" because they have poor wiring and construction. These mats can catch fire and cause electrical shocks to both pets and consumers. The firm has received two reports of the mats catching fire, including one incident that resulted in the death of a dog by asphyxiation. These polyester mats were sold in various shapes, sizes, and colors (including beige and pink) exclusively on Amazon.com between July 2011 and March 2012 for approximately $19. Consumers should stop using the mats immediately and contact World Class for a full refund.
The internal wiring and construction of the mats are defective, which can cause the product to overheat or short-circuit. This poses a significant fire hazard and risk of electrical shock to consumers and pets, and has already resulted in one pet death and property damage.
Consumer should immediately stop using the recalled pet mats and contact World Class to receive a full refund. The firm is directly contacting consumers who purchased the recalled product.
