A popular Kmart product has been recalled over risks it could cause burns to the skin.

The Anko Heat Elbow Wrap — a rechargeable heat pad for use on the elbow — was recalled on Tuesday due to a fault which causes it to “overheat if it is positioned incorrectly or is wrapped around too tight on the elbow”.

“(There is a) risk of burns injuries to the skin, with increased risk for heat-sensitive customers,” the recall stated.
