Product description
The flyer you submitted states: “Conair introduces an assortment of brightly-colored throw pillows with interior battery-operated motors for soothing, vibrating massage comfort. As attractive as a Sqweez™ pillow will be on a chair or a sofa, it’s even more attractive as a comforting and relaxing massager to help ease the stretchy pillow pop back into its original shape after it’s used.” Your sample, the Massaging Micro-Bead-Filled Pillow vibrates strongly when the internal battery power is switched on. It is similar to the item in New York Ruling Letter 873677-119, 5-18-92.
