 While I completely agree this sucks and it's happening in my friends 750iL, I would hardly call this a safety issue since it's something that is optional. People burning themselves on seat heaters is simply your own accountability, since if you know the problem is starting, then stop using it...see my reply above to another member. If it's starting having the issue, STOP using it till you fix it.
