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

  1. Stop using the pad. Unplug it and place it somewhere other people cannot use it by mistake.
  2. Check the label. Photograph the model number, lot code, and the entire pad before taking further action.
  3. Read the current FDA record. Recall instructions and status can change, so use the official page rather than an old marketplace listing.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

This page contains no Amazon affiliate links or replacement-product sales links. Its purpose is to correct an outdated recommendation, preserve the original URL for readers who may have bookmarked it, and point owners to official safety information. We will recheck the FDA record during future content reviews and revise this page if its status or instructions change.

GREAT PRODUCT!!! I ordered a bliss heating pad and it was not the perfect size. It is a very nice small heating pad for selected areas of my back. I would recommend trying one. You can get multiple sizes on Amazon. You won’t be disappointed.

I love my Mighty Bliss! It is the perfect size for using on my lower leg, hip or lower back for my pain. The material is soft and feels comfortable. I wish i had received the storage bag, but that’s okay because I’m so pleased with the product . The automatic shutoff is great from a safety aspect and my forgetfulness or sleepiness.
Thank you,
Coy

The Mighty Bliss heating pad is a wonderful thing for our purchase and serves our intent very well. My husband uses it pretty much 24/7 to keep his feet warm and he loves it. He had a stroke many years ago and may problems keeping his feet worm and this fit the bill. We use it out of the other blankets and works great. Thank you very much for making this pad and the size, it work out very well.

I bought the Bliss heating pad. I love it. I get stomach aches
often and the heating pad helps to relieve the pain. I had a very old one prior and knowing I needed a new one I was worried I would not like a new one. For me, the Bliss is perfect.

I purchased my MightyBliss heating pad several months ago. It gets lots of use because my husband has a chronic back issue. We have had many heating pads and this item is at the top of our list. I would definitely recommend this item. It’s large enough and has a nice steady heat

I love the large heating pad. I wish I had bought 2.
I highly recommend.

I love this heating pad! It’s a quality product that gets really hot but has 3 levels so you can tone down the heat, if needed. This really helps when my back hurts from doing household chores and yard work, when I’m at work during the day, or when I get stomach aches. It’s so soothing. I bought mine from Amazon & would buy again if I needed an additional or replacement heating pad. Although, I think this one will last a long time. Top notch and I highly recommend!

I have purchased many heating pads and just took a chance on ordering one without touching it. I have been extremely pleased. The soft exterior is instantly comforting and it heats up quickly. It is larger than most which is helpful for all areas of the body. I would purchase again.

My brother bought one for himself and was so impressed with it that he bought one for me. I love it. It is so soft and cuddly, the heat can be adjusted for just the right level, and it has done wonders for relieving my shoulder pain. I highly recommend it for anybody who needs pain relief.
