M&S recalls heating pillows

Marks & Spencer is recalling a range of back and neck heating pillows after two customers complained they had caused burns.

The two customers said they received minor injuries after pads used to heat the neck pillows overheated.

A further three customers have complained that the pads began smoking when they used them. M&S said it was urging customers to return all the items to their nearest store for a full refund.

Although no complaints have been received about the back pillow, which went on sale in August, they are also being recalled as a precautionary measure.

Some 4,200 neck pillows have been sold since they went on sale in M&S stores a year ago.
