Toll free number listed below for additional information...BD
The government says some consumers got more heat than they bargained for when they applied Icy Hot Heat Therapy packs for relief from achy limbs — and instead received serious burns. The Food and Drug Administration announced today that Chattem, Inc., of Chattanooga, Tenn., is recalling several varieties of its Icy Hot Heat Therapy Air-Activated Heat patches "because it has received some consumer reports of first, second and third degree burns as well as skin irritation resulting from consumer use or possible misuse of these
products."
The FDA warns consumers to immediately stop using the products and either toss them out or mail them to Chattem for a refund. The company also has provided a toll-free number for consumers: 1-888-458-3487.
The company also assured investors that while the recall would cost the company $6-$9 million, the number of burns reported "represents less than one-tenth of one percent of the approximately 1.8 million units of product sold at retail."
I am always looking for the latest information on a range of household products, gadgets, and toys for my kids. I found a number of useful product blogs that provide me a daily dose of useful information, trends, and product recall alerts. You may want to give them a try.
