Officers should be aware that these portable pocket warmers are being marketed by “Fred & Friends” company and are readily available via numerous sources.

Advertised as: PACKIN HEAT  $3.99










Baby, it's cold outside, and that's why you need to pack some heat. Our gel-filled REUSABLE hot packs will warm you instantly for 20 minutes or more! 


A quick snap and a Mr. Wizard like chemical reaction will warm your insides (or at the least your hands)!  Wanna use it again… of course you do!  Just drop it into boiling water until all of the crystals inside the pad have magically disappeared.


Includes 2 pads per set. Each reusable heating pad measures approximately  5" x 3.5"

As one of the officers from Fairfax County PD said, "The only thing that could come of this is the premature death of the idiot who buys one and lousy headlines for the PD involved."

Does anyone know if the geniuses of this company have been told of the dangers here? I understand the gimmick part for marketing but....it's kinda like selling an assisted suicide device!

Are the inventors of these items really THAT stupid? What'll they come up with next? I smell a police shooting and a big time lawsuit for the makers of these things coming soon to a hood near you!


This is some funny shit!
