    I HAVE BEEN BURNED TWICE BY TWO DIFFERENT SUNBEAM HEATING PADS IN THE
    PAST YEAR, THE FIRST 2: SUNBEAM INSISTED I RETURN THEM , GAVE ME A
    CHECK FOR 1500.00 NOT EVEN ENOUGH TO COVER MED BILLS! AND A NEW
    SUNBEAM HEATING PAD: THE SECOND PAD BURNED ME THIS WINTER, (6 MOS OLD)
    I AM IN POSSESSION OF IT : BTW, THE SUNBEAM ENGINEERS, SAID 2 PADS
    SENT BACK WERE IN A 'CRUMPLED CONDITION', YES THE VINYL COVERING WAS
    BURNT, TURNED BROWN: AS IF OVERHEATED: VINYL BECAME CRUMPLED LOOKING.
    SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING, I AM NOW COVERED WITH SCARS ON MY
    BACK, REQUIRING DERMABRASION, WHICH SUNBEAM WOULD NOT GIVE ME ENOUGH
    $$ TO COVER, I DON'T EVEN ESTIMATE HOW MUCH TO TREAT THE NEW SCARS!!
