The product, in the report: Twin size heated throw
3/20/2024: The throw’s control has settings of high, medium and low. It was on the “high” setting when it overheated. The consumer was awakened by a burning sensation to her leg. She is unsure how long she slept. She immediately turned the throw’s control off.
She notes that she had used the throw earlier in the day and it cut off, unexpectedly.
The consumer sustained 2 burns below the knee, on her left leg. One burn was smaller than the diameter of a penny and the other the size of a nickel. One of the burns developed blisters, but the other did not.
She treated the burns at home, but one of the burns has become worse and is turning purple in color. She has treated her injuries with antibiotics but believes that she needs medical attention.
The consumer reported the incident to the dealer and one of their representatives asked her to return it to them and she did.
This is a 2nd and was a replacement for an identical one that overheated. The retailer exchanged it for this latest one that burned the consumer.
She also gave one of these throws to her granddaughter and is concerned that it could possibly present a similar issue.
The consumer took pictures of her injury and can provide them if needed.
The first throw was purchased in January 2024. She returned it to the dealer, and they replaced it Mid-March 2024.
