Abstract
A molded plastic product has a pad and a core. The pad is made of plastic foam and a skin that covers the surface and side face of the plastic foam. The core has a pad housing for accommodating the pad. A groove is formed partly or entirely along the side face of the skin. The plastic foam bonds the pad and core together. The groove prevents the plastic foam from leaking onto the surface of the skin and provides a function of firmly holding the skin.
