Plain-English summary

The TJX Companies Inc. is recalling approximately 5,600 Aroma Home USB Heated Hottie heating pads sold exclusively at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls stores nationwide. The recall also covers about 3,600 units sold in Canada. These animal-themed, sequined heating pads are heated via a USB connection to a PC, laptop, power bank, car charger, or other 5V USB port. The affected products were sold in four styles: French Bull Dog, Sequin Cat Head, Sequin Fox Head, and Sequin Blue Owl. A use and care label bearing the name "Aroma Home" is sewn into the bottom pocket of the heating pad where the USB cord emerges.

The heating pads are being recalled because they can overheat during use, which poses fire and burn hazards. The source text states that no injuries have been reported in the U.S.

Consumers should immediately stop using the heating pads and return them to any T.J. Maxx or Marshalls store for a full refund. The products were sold from November 2018 through January 2019 for $13.
