electric blanket safety

It is not advisable to buy or use a second hand electric blanket. You will not know its history and are unlikely to be able to judge its safety. When using an electric blanket ensure:

  • The blanket is laid flat on the bed as folds or creases can damage the internal wiring and cause overheating.
  • With underblankets, ensure the lead and controller switch are hanging freely and not caught up in the blanket or damaged in any way and any underblankets are securely tied to the bed if tie tapes are supplied.
  • The blanket is switched off or unplugged before you get into bed if it is marked as a pre-heating underblanket.
  •
