CPSC, Bilt-Safe Technologies Announce Recall of Electric Blankets
Hazard
When the temperature controller on the blanket is reset multiple times or the blanket is folded or covered with additional blankets, the blanket can overheat. This can result in smoldering and melting, posing a burn hazard to consumers.
