<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Some Risk Still Involved
Although no actual health threats are present when using an electric blanket, it can be dangerous because it can catch fire or burn anyone using it for warmth, if turned up too high or used for too long at one time.
On the Other: Less Chance for Hazards
Newer models use lower voltage wiring inside the blanket to heat. This means less chance for burns and fires, and it ensures that the blanket will not get too hot if accidentally left on.
Bottom Line
As long as the heated blanket uses electricity, no matter how careful you are with the blanket or how long you keep the blanket plugged into the wall, there will always be some risk associated with using it.
