When using ThermaCare Back Pain Therapy HeatWraps, it's important to be aware of certain safety considerations to minimize potential risks:

• Burn Risk: These heat wraps can cause burns, especially in individuals aged 55 and older. To reduce this risk, wear the wrap over a thin layer of clothing and avoid using it while sleeping. Regularly check your skin during use; if you notice any irritation or burns, remove the product immediately.

• Skin Sensitivity: Do not apply the heat wrap on unhealthy, damaged, or broken skin, or on areas with bruising or swelling that have occurred within the last 48 hours.

• Usage Duration: Limit use to no more than 8 hours in any 24-hour period.

• Concurrent Use with Other Products: Avoid using the heat wrap with pain rubs, medicated lotions, creams, or ointments, as this can increase the risk of skin irritation.

• Medical Conditions: Consult a doctor before using the product if you have diabetes, poor circulation, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or if you are pregnant.

• Product Integrity: Do not use the heat wrap if the heat cell contents leak or if the wrap is damaged or torn.

• Children and Pets: Keep the product out of reach of children and pets. The heat cells contain iron, which can be harmful if ingested. If ingested, rinse the mouth with water and contact a Poison Control Center immediately.

By following these guidelines, you can use ThermaCare HeatWraps safely and effectively.

ThermaCare Back Pain Therapy HeatWraps are designed to provide temporary relief from minor muscular and joint aches. While many users find them beneficial, it's important to be aware of potential side effects to ensure safe use. Skin Irritation and Burns: Some individuals may experience skin reactions, including redness, irritation, or burns, especially if the wrap is worn for extended periods or applied directly to the skin without a protective layer. The risk of burns increases with age, so individuals aged 55 and older should wear the wrap over a thin layer of clothing and avoid using it while sleeping. Allergic Reactions: Although rare, some users might have allergic reactions to the materials in the heat wraps, leading to symptoms like itching, rash, or swelling. Product Recalls: There have been instances where specific lots of ThermaCare HeatWraps were recalled due to manufacturing issues that could lead to higher-than-intended temperatures, posing a risk of burns or blisters. For example, in April 2019, a recall was issued for certain lots of ThermaCare Back Pain Therapy HeatWraps due to potential overheating. Usage Precautions: To minimize risks:

• Do Not Use On Damaged Skin: Avoid applying the wrap to areas with broken or damaged skin.
• Avoid Concurrent Use with Other Products: Do not use the wrap with medicated lotions, creams, or ointments.
• Monitor Skin Condition: Regularly check the skin under the wrap for signs of irritation or burns. If you notice any discomfort, swelling, rash, or other changes, discontinue use immediately.
• Consult Healthcare Providers: If you have conditions like diabetes, poor circulation, heart disease, or rheumatoid arthritis, or if you are pregnant, consult a healthcare professional before using the product. Always follow the product's instructions and guidelines to ensure safe and effective use.

Avoid Combining with Topical Products: Do not use ThermaCare® HeatWraps in conjunction with other topical products such as medicated lotions, creams, or ointments. Applying multiple products simultaneously can increase the risk of skin irritation or burns.

Consult Your Doctor If You Have Certain Health Conditions: Before using ThermaCare® HeatWraps, consult your healthcare provider if you have diabetes, poor circulation, heart disease, or rheumatoid arthritis, or if you are pregnant. These conditions may affect your sensitivity to heat or your ability to detect heat-related injuries.

• Monitor Skin Condition: Regularly check the skin under the HeatWrap for signs of burns or blisters. If you find any, stop use immediately.

• Do Not Use on Areas with Reduced Sensation: Avoid applying the HeatWrap to areas of the body where you cannot feel heat, as this can prevent you from noticing potential burns.
