• almost all heating pads state this to protect the manufacturer against lawsuits by people who burn themselves by laying on it too long at high heat settings

• It does get very hot, so I assume they are protecting themselves by saying that, I have it on my bed and lie on it to help my sciatica, I turn it off when I get hot.

• Thank you for reaching out to Sunbeam®. We appreciate the opportunity to respond to your inquiry. Please note that we do not recommend sitting on or laying on your Sunbeam® heating pad. There should be room for air to circulate on the heating pad to reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and personal injury. The heating pad should be placed on top and not under the part of the body needing heat. We hope this helps. Have a good day!
