Back Heating Pads Recalled Nationwide Due to Potential Risk of Skin Injury

By Theresa Bender

Pfizer Consumer Healthcare issued a nationwide recall of its ThermaCare® Back Pain Therapy HeatWraps due to the potential risk that certain cells within the wrap operate at an increased temperature, which poses the risk of burns, blisters, and irritation to applied areas. A total of 17 case sub lots distributed from June 2017 through March 2018 were impacted by the recall.
