Re: Sunbeam heating pad
Posted by Victor Coppleson on 2/12/08

    using a Sunbeam heating pad on my right leg set on medium. I awoke
    about fifteen minutes later with the heating pad not working and
    a large blister on my calf and ankle that turned out to be a third
    degree burn.
    Long story short: After surgery and three months of treatment I
    lost my leg below the knee.
    Moral: Don't buy Sunbeam products. They obviously don't care
    enough to test for product safety and our govt. is too preoccupied
    to bother looking out for the public interest.
