Consumer Description

I JUST DISCOVERED THIS YESTERDAY, BUT FEEL THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW WEEKS AS THE BACK OF THE SEAT WAS TOO HOT AT CERTAIN POINTS AND I HAD TO TURN IT OFF. I HAVE BEEN NOTICING AN ODD SMELL MORE RECENTLY SO I HAD A LOOK AT THE SEAT AND 3 SMALL BURN MARKS/HOLES ARE PRESENT. COULD BE DANGEROUS IF CLOTHING OR THE INTERIOR OF THE SEAT WERE TO CATCH FIRE.
