STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — About 350,000 electric heating blankets and pads are being recalled because they can pose fire and thermal burn hazards, according to a notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Bedshe International is recalling its Bedsure electric heating blankets and pads because the controller can malfunction — posing hazards to consumers using the products.
CPSC has received 137 reports of the blankets and pads catching fire, burning, melting and overheating in consumer homes, causing minor property damage. These include 17 reports of burn injuries, including one report of second-degree burns.
They were sold online at Amazon.com and BedsureHome.com from August 2022 through November 2022 for between $25 and $110.
The recall involves Bedsure electric heating blankets models in throw, twin and full sizes made of flannel and/or sherpa in the following sizes: 50″ x 60,” 62″ x 84″ and 72″ x 84.” The blankets were sold in the following colors: beige, black, blue, blue plaid, brown, gray (light and dark), gray plaid, green (dark), navy, red, red plaid and red plaid (cream), depending on the size and model.
The Bedsure electric heating pads were sold in the following sizes: 12″ x 24″, 24″ x 22″ and 24″ x 33″, and colors brown, gray, and teal.
The products are controlled by a white cord with a white digital controller unit. The Electric Blanket with model BS-LV0A has a white non-digital controller unit with the name and symbol of Bedsure on the controller. The model numbers are on a white label on the back of the blanket and heating pads and back side of the controller and also on the consumer’s Orders History page, according to CPSC.
The following seven model numbers are included in this recall:
