| Action | Recall notifications were sent out on 9/16/2019 by letter to distributors. Firm indicated they used first class mail, email or facsimile. The notice informs users that the Company has received reports of product failures resulting in the release of the hot liquid from the Heat Gel-Core Insert component (orange ball) after being heated in the microwave. These included five reports of skin contact resulting in temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences (first-degree burns and possibly one second degree burn), one of which required medical treatment. There were also four reports of skin contact with hot liquid that did not result in burns, and several reports of skin contact at room temperature with no adverse consequences
