Hotties Thermal Packs Replacement Core

Product Information

Hotties are designed to fail-safe in the event of overheating. This means, if overheated for a long period of time, the pouch is designed to split. This may create a “bang” noise, but is an important safety feature that prevents the build up of dangerous pressures and hot spots. As Hottie contains no toxic gels or seeds there is no danger of it catching fire or causing burns. ▼What should I do if I overheat Hottie and it pops?

The core of the Hottie microwaveable hot water bottle may be recycled. Using scissors, cut open the plastic outer pouch and remove the absorbent material. We have been making Hotties since 1996 and in all that time we have never learned of a Hottie causing injury or exploding violently. If you overheat Hottie and it pops, leave in microwave for at least ten minutes before lifting out.The plastic pouch is composed of layers of different plastic types and is classified under Resin Identification Code (RIC) 7, which is the classification for “other plastics”. Ensure your recycling program accepts materials under this classification. Hottie is not a hot water bottle. Hot water bottles are known to cause burns. This is because of the fiddly design requiring filling with boiling water and also due to rubber bursting or splitting, spilling boiling water onto the user.

How long a Hottie lasts is a function of how carefully it is heated. If always heated correctly there is no reason a Hottie should decline.Please note, heating instructions in columns marked 1 and 2 are instructions for heating Hottie from cold (i.e. not recently used or 20°C) Microwave
