Yes, you heard correctly.....On this past weekend I plugged in our electric blanket and put it on my bed...I turned it on to warm it up a bit like I always usally do before going to bed in the fall and winter.....It was on for about a half hour or so then I decided to crawl in....it was about 3 in the morning and I woke up to my leg burning ....No kidding....The blanket had been so hot that it burnt a hole through it and went through my p.j's and burnt my leg.....was I ever upset about the whole thing....I went to Sears yesterday.( that is where the blanket was purchased) and apparently they had a recall on their "Sears" brand blankets last year...Know one ever contacted me to tell me this....Needless to say they replaced my blanket and all I got was a "we are sorry"... I found the clerk to be rather rude about the whole thing.....I asked for her superviser but she was out to lunch as well......I just feel it could have been delt with a little more TLC.....I mean I did get burnt that did blister... I then asked her this question ".what if that had been a child?" Her responce was, you are not suppose to use these blankets on infants.....I then said " I said child not infat" Do you think I should leave this matter or take it to a higher person in the company?
Just to inform some people that have purchased electric blankets from Sears, with their name brand on them...that you have to be careful..
