Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I know some of you love these things. Having been zapped by an electric blanket and my brother had his home burnt down by one he didn't even know was there... they terrify me. I do have an electric blanket on my bed in the super cold hovel - but I unplug it when i get in bed. And I only have it on when I'm home. https://www.productsafety.gov.au/recall/big-w-contempo-heated-throw 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 That's a bit disappointing. We have two from BigW, I think they are about two years old, so not in this recall batch. Still, it makes for being more careful using them which is probably a good thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralPug Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Heated throws are used entirely differently to electric blankets. i recently purchased a heated throw from ALDI, which I and the cats adore. I haven't seen any recall notices for that, just my luck of there was I think I have become addicted to it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I bought an Onkaparinga heated throw for my Mum a couple of years back - and she and Mark her cat love it. And she hasn't had any problems with it - touch wood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
