Kaz Heating Pad
June 2013: A federal judge granted final approval of a settlement agreement. According to its terms, class members may receive a cash refund in an amount that depends on the number of claims filed but is estimated to be between $10 and $20. In addition, the company agreed to change the marketing for the heating pads to warn consumers about unsafe uses.
