If you’ve bought a Hoovy Cooling Gel Insert Pad for a car seat or stroller, here’s why it’s being recalled:
These pads can overheat in the sun or a hot car, causing burns to children instead of keeping them cool.
One child has already suffered second-degree burns that required medical attention.
What’s Being Recalled and Why
AMTRADING is recalling about 20,000 Hoovy Cooling Gel Insert Pads after reports that they can become dangerously hot when left in the sun or a hot vehicle.
Instead of cooling, the pad can heat up and burn a child’s skin, especially when their body weight activates the inner layer.
At least one child was seriously injured — suffering second-degree burns on their back.
