Mighty Bliss Heating Pad Recall: What Owners Should Know
Reviewed and updated: October 2, 2026
Recall alert: The FDA says consumers should not use certain recalled Mighty Bliss electric heating pads because of risks including electric shock, skin burns, rashes, and irritation. The FDA recall database still listed the action as open and classified when checked October 2, 2026.
Why this old review has been replaced
This page once recommended a Mighty Bliss heating pad. That recommendation is no longer appropriate. Whele LLC, doing business as Perch, initiated a recall on October 24, 2022 after reports of injuries and device malfunctions. The FDA classified the recall as Class I, its most serious category, meaning there is a reasonable probability that use could cause serious harm or death.
The FDA record says the firm received complaints involving burns, mild electric shocks, and rashes or irritation. More than 500,000 pads were involved across the related recall records and safety communication. Because an old affiliate review could send a reader toward a recalled device, we removed its product links and replaced it with this safety guide.
Which Mighty Bliss heating pads were named?
The FDA safety communication identified three 12-by-24-inch pads sold through Amazon.com and Walmart.com:
- Blue Extra-Large: model MB-002 (NA-H21C)
- Gray Large: model PE-MtyBls-HeatPad-12×24-Gry-V2 (NA-H1121B)
- Blue Large: model MB-001 (NA-H1121B)
Model MB-001 has a long list of affected lot codes in the FDA database. Do not rely only on color or an online order description. Find the sewn or printed product label and compare its model and lot information with the official recall notice. If the label is missing or unreadable, leave the pad unplugged and contact the recall administrator or FDA for guidance.
What owners should do now
- Stop using the pad. Unplug it and place it somewhere other people cannot use it by mistake.
- Check the label. Photograph the model number, lot code, and the entire pad before taking further action.
- Read the current FDA record. Recall instructions and status can change, so use the official page rather than an old marketplace listing.
- Follow the authorized recall process. The FDA record says users were asked to destroy an affected pad by cutting the cord only after ensuring it was unplugged, then upload a photo through the firm’s recall process. Confirm current instructions before destroying anything.
- Report an injury or malfunction. Seek medical care for a burn, shock, persistent rash, or other concerning symptom. Device problems can also be reported through FDA MedWatch.
Never cut a cord while a product is connected to electricity. Do not repair, resell, donate, or give away a recalled pad. A device that still turns on is not proof that it is safe.
How to find the model and lot code
Disconnect the controller and power plug first if the design allows it. Lay the pad flat in good light. Look along the edge seam, near the controller connector, and on the reverse side for a fabric tag or printed label. The model may appear beside “Model,” “Item,” or a manufacturer code. A lot code can be a separate group of digits.
Take a clear photo rather than trying to remember the code. Compare every character. Similar-looking model numbers can refer to different products, and the marketplace order page may show a family name instead of the exact unit. If the pad came as a gift, the physical label is especially important.
Affected MB-001 lot codes
The FDA’s MB-001 record lists the following lot codes:
210108, 210109, 210110, 210111, 210201, 210202, 210203, 210204, 210301, 210302, 210303, 210304, 210305, 210306, 210307, 210308, 210309, 210310, 210401, 210402, 210403, 210405, 210406, 210407, 210501, 210502, 210801, 210802, 210803, 210804, 210805, 210806, 210901, 210902, 210903, 210904, 210905, 210906, 210907, 210908, 210909, 210910, 210911, 210912, 211001, 211002, 211003, 211004, 211005, 211006, 211007, 211008, 211009, 211010, 211101, 211102, 211103, 211104, 211105, 211106, 211107, 211108, 211201, 211202, 211203, 211204, 211205, 211206, 211207, 220101, 220103, and 220201.
Transcription errors are possible, and related models have separate information. Treat the official FDA record as the controlling source. If your model is MB-002 or the gray V2 pad, use the corresponding FDA safety communication and recall information rather than assuming the MB-001 lot list applies.
If you need a replacement heating pad
We are not recommending a specific replacement on this recall page. Before buying any electric heating pad, search the model and manufacturer in the FDA recall database and the Consumer Product Safety Commission recall database. Read the current manual, check the warranty, and choose a pad with a controller you can operate clearly.
Automatic shutoff is useful, but it cannot detect every folded area, damaged wire, blocked heat path, or change in skin sensation. A replacement should still be used awake, on a low setting first, and for a limited session. Never place a heating pad under your body, fold it sharply, use it when wet unless specifically designed for that method, or use it on skin that cannot reliably feel heat.
When a heating-pad injury needs care
Disconnect power without touching exposed wire if you can do so safely. For a possible electrical shock, chest symptoms, fainting, breathing trouble, confusion, or a serious burn, seek emergency help. Cool a thermal burn with cool running water; do not apply ice, butter, or oily products. Cover it loosely with a clean dressing.
Contact a clinician for blistering, broken skin, spreading redness, persistent pain, a burn larger than the palm, or an injury involving the face, hands, feet, genitals, or a major joint. People with diabetes, poor circulation, reduced sensation, or immune problems should seek advice promptly because an injury may be deeper than it appears.
Recall status and methodology
We checked the FDA safety communication and recall record on October 2, 2026. The MB-001 recall record showed “Open, Classified” and listed 528,067 units in commerce for that model record. The broader safety communication described more than 500,000 pads across the named models. Recall status and administrator instructions may change after this article is published.
