The covering on the heat pad is it a plastic material?

The cover is a thin blue synthetic material, perhaps polyester. There is also a foam pad inside for using as moist heat. The pad itself is vinyl.

It seems vinyl will release Dioxin at high temperature. I think I need to retire this heat pad.http://www.motherearthnews.com/green-homes/the-vinyl-debate.aspx#axzz2o5H9LJtO

Its a soft fabric. It can be removed to be washed. The inner piece is a vinyl / plastic layer over the heating element. I've been very happy with it.

The heating pad itself is covered in flexible plastic. But there is a washable soft cloth cover over that as well as a slim foam pad over one side.

No, its some kind of cloth like material, usually you will find it in packing of heat appliances. the actual heating pad has plastic material on it which is again packed in a cloth like slip like a pillow.

The pad itself is plastic, but the blue removable cover that is over it is a soft- almost fleecy material. I love mine!

But yes when you use it. it makes you sweat and the covering doesn't absorbs it.

The heating pad is plastic but it comes with a blue fabric sleeve, into which the heating pad is inserted.

Looks like aluminum. Conducts heat (cold) like it, too. Not a problem in use, unless you're totally opposed to aluminum in food prep.

When I received mine, the box was sealed tight and it was definitely brand new. Mine is the shoulder wrap heating pad and I love it. good luck!

Yes, The model 155 came as a plastic warming pad and it has a slipcover to put over it. I would say it was felted wool, whatever it is, it really holds in moist heat. I wished the instructions said how to launder it.

The cover states that it's 100% polyester, made in China. Web site at www.dsosi.comThe pad itself is slippery and the cover slides around on it a little. Otherwise the heating pad has worked well so far.

It's plastic. I have an SSD installed in mine and there is no heat issues, if you're going to use a conventional HD it should still be okay.

It's plastic. We have had another Hansgrohe control with the plastic cover plate in another bathroom for over a year and it has been fine.

The inside is plastic except for the bottom which is metal and is over the heating element. I've only given it a test run so far as we will be using it for travel, but it seems to work fine.

The heating element is plastic , developed a crack and could not be repaired on mine. I replaced it with Rheem that performs much better .

I had thought about a heating pad too - maybe on a low setting. There is a nice thick fluffy cushion inside that you can take out to wash. The underneath is not plastic - I'm not sure what it is. It looks like fabric but feels kind of paper-y. Just buy it and return if you don't like it. For $20 it's a pretty good deal.

The handle is plastic. The heater coil seems to be stainless steel (It never rusts)

It's plastic. Not recommended, in freezing or extreme heat conditions. But I just love mine ! It's indoors

It was all metal housing. I returned it cause it didn't get hot enough. I wouldn't recommend this one ;(

Yes. I have another heating pad that does the same thing. I don't believe it is anything to worry about.

It is plastic, the reason I bought this was because where I board my horse, he has a buddy out there, and they got really restless this past winter and destroyed one of the regular 5 gal heated buckets. Once we plugged this bad boy in and filled it up, they didn't try to kick it or anything. So far it has been the best heated bucket I've purchased!

It's not lined. Blue plastic sides and a circular metal plate on the bottom (where the heat comes from).
