hello. does the tag of this pad say anything like CA TB 117? or California Technical Bulletin 117? (flame retardant issue) thanks.

Wish I could help you but I tossed mine after six weeks because the filling shifts around and forms big lumps you can't redistribute. It was like trying to lay on rocks -- and the lumps were right where you most want the padding to be soft.

I have two Sciatica Saddle Cushions, and both appear to have Law Labels. These labels start with "Under penalty of law this tag is not to be removed except by the consumer". There is much more information on the tag.

Not sure about CA fire safety code, we are in Ohio. Cushion is solid and well made canvas type material.

Hello, did you have any luck getting a replacement pad through the warranty? Wondering if it's worth it or not to contact. Thank you!

I bought one about a year ago (or less). One control or ?? quit, so only one side heats. When I contacted SEALY, they responded that they contract out the making of these pads - in China. SEALY sent me the names of two POSSIBLE companies to contact. Neither one is the name listed on the control. Neither contact seems to be able to assist. SO, I am buying a SUNBEAM this time and keeping my fingers crossed.

Why not go to the web site. My gate does not use those pads so ther than the companies web site I would not have a clue.

I would be highly surprised and disappointed if it was treated, as I purchased the topper under the impression that it wasn't. Also, the tag doesn't specify that it is flame-retardant or compliant with the law in that regard, and in fact advises against dry cleaning, and I directly quote, "because of the harsh and toxic chemicals used during the process". That said, I LOVE this topper. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's construction and quality is superb, and has made all the difference in the world comfort- and temperature-wise on our mattress. Before purchasing this topper, my fianc and I were overheating and miserable on our supposedly nontoxic foam mattress. I got the topper to hold us over until we can afford a latex mattress instead, but will definitely continue to use this organic topper even when we do. Hope this helps!

The tags on my seat state that the seat is made with polyurethane foam and plastic. The tags issue a warning not the put the seat close to hot objects. This is because high heat or fire will cause Formaldehyde to be released. Formaldehyde and plastics release carcinogenics when heated to high temperatures. My seat has a California compliant tag and does not state the seat is carcinogenic.Hope this was helpful!

Sorry, I am unqualified to respond to this question as it pertains to this heating pad. Nonetheless, I will comment that California has among the most strict of consumer warnings. California requires this type of disclosure on most water bottles and household plumbing (PVC) pipes. You might be inhaling more carcinogens when you fill up your gas tank than you'll encounter with the heating pad. (Gas pumps carry such disclosures too) My best guess is that petroleum products go into ALL plastics, many textiles and electrical components so the manufacturer is in compliance with all state laws by making this discolusre. Best to check with the manufacturer, Battle Creek Equipment if you still have concerns. As for me, I just wanted (and obtained) relief from pain with frequent heat applications and for me at least, it's better than taking painkillers which have all sorts of other side effects (and disclosures, too!). Thank goodness, we have choices!

The life of the pad is one year, and the pad is warrantied by the manufacturer to last for a full year from date of purchase. The 45 day complaints came about because one seller was sourcing a different, cheaper short term usage pad and selling it under this listing, incorrectly, for a short while last summer. After multiple complaints by both the manufacturer, and other sellers like ourselves, that seller finally started offering the correct pad.

I couldn't find where there is a 'model number' for these underpads and I really don't know how many grams it has. I will tell you that for my latest order, the pads were not as generously filled as the order before it. Not sure if it's because it was a different supplier or what.

I wondered the same thing, but after reading the used descriptions (and after the price of the pads I was buying went through the roof), I decided to try a "used" box that was slightly damaged. That's all it was. Someone else must have returned the box and they cut out the address label and put mine there. Worth the savings!

It's a genuine scotch pad. It's not the thicker ''industrial'' pad that was sold years ago. If you want the ''original'' thicker, it's probably sold at mechanical supply stores.

The only mention of flame retardant on the box says "Notice: this article meets the flammability requirements of California Bureau of Home Furnishings Technical Bulletin 117. Care should be exercised near open flame or with burning cigarettes."

Can't say more than what the other people who have already replied said. It's just a thin little pad. I would highly recommend grabbing one of the other pads here on Amazon to place on top. There is a nice $18~ one that has around 1k reviews.The pad that comes with this is a nice gesture but I wouldn't rely on it.

that is a good question. maybe because the plastic is super thick? but the seller will definitely answer if you ask them. they contacted me before i had received my pad. i wish you luck.
