Consumer Description

DRIVING MY CHILDREN HOME FROM NEW YORK ON THE 6TH OF JULY 2013, SOME WHERE ON THE TURNPIKE MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER COMPLAINED ABOUT THE HEATED SEAT BEING TO HOT. I TOLD HER THAT SHE SHOULD TURN IT OFF THEN, TO WITCH SHE REPLIED I ALREADY DID DAD BUT ITS STILL HOT. SHE DROVE THE REST OF THE TRIP WITH THE SEAT OFF. AS SOON AS WE COULD PULLED OVER TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT WE DID. WHEN WE TOOK A LOOK AT THE EFFECTED AREA IT LOOKED LIKE A TENNIS BALL SIZE BLISTER. JUST TO BE SAFE I HAD TO TAKE HER TO THE ER AND IT WAS A 2ND DEGREE BURN!! *TR
