FORT
LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 27,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Law Offices of
Jason Turchin has launched an investigation into recent
electric blanket recalls due to reports of fire hazards and burn
injuries. Numerous consumers have reported incidents of defective
blankets overheating, sparking, or catching fire, causing property
damage and serious injuries.
"Electric blankets should provide warmth and safety, not put
families at risk," said Jason Turchin,
Esq. "We are committed to holding manufacturers accountable
for products that fail to meet safety standards."
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has recalled
several electric blanket models for faulty wiring and defective
temperature controls, which can lead to overheating and fires,
especially when used during sleep or left unattended.
Common Issues Reported:
- Overheating and Sparking: Defective wiring can
cause blankets to overheat or produce sparks, leading to fire
hazards.
- 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.
- Report to the CPSC: File a report with the Consumer
Product Safety Commission to help track defective products.
- Consult a Product Liability Attorney: A national product
liability lawyer can help determine if you have a claim for
compensation.
