Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

The TJX Companies has recalled approximately 5,600 Aroma Home USB Heated Hottie heating pads because they can overheat during use. These animal-themed sequined heating pads were sold in four styles: French Bull Dog, Sequin Cat Head, Sequin Fox Head, and Sequin Blue Owl. The products were sold exclusively at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls stores nationwide between November 2018 and January 2019 for about $13. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and return them to any T.J. Maxx or Marshalls store for a full refund.

Risk

The internal heating elements can malfunction and overheat while connected to a power source, creating a risk of fire and skin burns to the user. While no injuries have been reported in the U.S., the potential for severe thermal damage exists during operation.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your heating pad for a 'Aroma Home' use and care label sewn into the bottom pocket where the USB cord emerges.
  2. Identify if your heating pad matches one of the four affected animal styles: French Bull Dog (black and white), Sequin Cat Head, Sequin Fox Head (gold sequins), or Sequin Blue Owl.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled heating pad and disconnect it from any USB power source such as a PC, laptop, power bank, or car charger.
  4. Return the recalled heating pad to any T.J. Maxx or Marshalls store to receive a full refund.
  5. For more information, contact T.J. Maxx at 800-926-6299 or Marshalls at 888-627-7425 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
