BAD product! Cooling Pads and External Fans

When I opened the box that this item came in, I was surprised to see a very thin plastic "thing" with wires sticking out. I actually checked the box to make sure I have the item I bought! There was a very thin piece of cut foam that didn't even cover the entire cooling pad and the box it came in looked about a year old. If you look at the cooling pad, it has 3 fans but they are open at the bottom and partially open at the top. This cooling pad MUST be on furniture, wood or something solid. I have a computer tray, so everything is fine. This cushion lifts my Sony Vaio 1.5 inch off the table. This is a big step forward as I'm trying to type right now! The cooling pad only seems to slip slightly, but even this slight movement is annoying. It's highlighted in blue from the bottom, which might be cool to some but annoys me. There is a USB cable for connecting to a laptop and when you plug it in there is another USB port on the other side for connecting a mouse. My connected mouse is not working. Luckily I have more than one port. One of the things that really worries me is exposed wires. There are 3 wires going to each fan and they are right outside for anyone to touch or get tangled in. And the cable that plugs into the USB port is very long and constantly bothers my mouse. Trying to move that wire, the fan nearly ate it. Another thing that worries me is that the fans aren't better protected for lack of a better word. After all, there are 3 pieces of plastic on top of the fans and nothing on the bottom. If you have young children and they think it's a game because of the "beautiful blue light" and try to pick it up, their fingers will get stuck in the fans. I'm still debating whether to keep it for myself and only use it on a tray at home, or just throw it away and buy a better one. I guess for $5 I shouldn't complain since the fans are there for cooling, but I would definitely buy another, more expensive one if it was better made and didn't pose a potential hazard. I would not recommend this product to anyone unless you are looking to save money.
