Our inspection found a small cut in the cord near the switch that could have exposed the user to bare wire.The inspection also revealed customer misuse as or inspection found: fda: cord cut/burned strain relief, switch ok, pad bunched, bent/broken thermostat, thermostat harness failed.This tells us that the pad was not being properly used as per our instructions in the manual.Cord breakage usually occurs when the cord is repeatedly over bent near switch.We have initiated a capa project (b)(4) to reduce the occurrence of this issue.A new jacketed cord design was launched in production on 03/10/2014 that closes (b)(4) pending a future evaluation of the effectiveness of the solution.
