adhesive against the skin. Attach firmly. Do not overlap the heat cells. For maximum effectiveness, we

period.
WARNING: THIS PRODUCT CAN CAUSE BURNS. CHECK SKIN FREQUENTLY DURING USE. IF YOU
FIND IRRITATION OR A BURN, REMOVE PRODUCT IMMEDIATELY.
THE LABEL TALKS ABOUT BURNS–SHOULD I BE CONCERNED? Robax HEATWRAPS have been
extensively tested, and most people are able to use them without any problems. However, some conditions
increase the chance that using heat might result in burns and blistering. We recommend you take certain
precautions.
55 OR OLDER: YOUR RISK OF BURNING INCREASES AS YOU AGE. IF YOU ARE 55 YEARS OF AGE
OR OLDER, DO NOT USE DURING SLEEP.
For all consumers: If the wrap bunches or folds, the heat cells may get hotter if they come in contact with
each other and thus increase your risk of a burn. Never fold a wrap and apply to skin. Be sure the heat cells
lie flat; you may need to adjust during wear. Use the appropriate product for the body area you intend to
treat. Robax HEATWRAPS are specially designed for the back/hip, and neck & shoulder areas.
Additional important considerations: Following all the above recommendations will reduce but may not
eliminate the risk of a burn. If you are concerned, consult your doctor as the one most familiar with your
health.
ASK A DOCTOR BEFORE USE if you have•DIABETES •poor circulation or heart disease •rheumatoid
arthritis •or are pregnant.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS: Keep out of reach of children. Each heat disc contains iron (~2 grams), which
can be harmful if ingested. If ingested please seek professional assistance immediately. If it comes in
contact with your skin or eyes, remove wrap, rinse affected area with water and seek professional
assistance immediately. Never heat product in a microwave or attempt to reheat, as wrap could catch fire.
DO NOT MICROWAVE.

When using this product: Check skin frequently for signs of burns or blisters–if found, stop use. If product
