unmindful

Paying no attention

Unmindful means not conscious or aware of something, often implying negligence or inattention: unmindful of the dangers, unmindful of her responsibilities.

The word suggests failing to keep something in mind that should be considered.

It's more formal than simply forgetful, carrying a hint of carelessness or disregard.
