I wasn't sure where to put this question...

This is from a lawsuit about a heating pad that allegedly caught fire. I suppose this is the opposite of a heating pad for medical purposes but I'm not sure what the term would be...

Thanks!

heating pad


Explanation:
In English when talking about a heating pad, it is understood that it is therapeutic and to help heal an injury, therefore I would just say "heating pad."
