Numerous consumers have reported incidents of defective blankets overheating, sparking, or catching fire, causing property damage and serious injuries.

- Burn Injuries: Malfunctioning blankets can cause severe burns, particularly if users don't notice the increased heat.
- Insufficient Safety Warnings: Some products lack adequate warnings, increasing the risk of improper use.
Steps to Take if You've Been Affected:
- Stop Using the Blanket: Immediately disconnect and stop using any recalled or malfunctioning electric blanket.
- Document the Incident: Take photos of any injuries or damage and keep the product as evidence.
