More than 11,000 electric blankets are being recalled tonight because they can overheat and burn people.
The blankets were made by WestPoint, which has received 10 reports of the blankets overheating, including four reports of minor skin burns.
The Vellux Fahrenheit blankets were sold in various colors and sizes to fit all mattress sizes. The temperature controller is white with the words, "WESTPOINT STEVENS" and "fahrenheit Heated Blanket" printed on the front. The recall includes blankets manufactured from July 2002 through January 2003. The manufacture date is printed on a label sewn into the seam.
WestPoint Stevens will provide consumers postage-free return packaging to return the product, a full refund and $25 to compensate consumers for the inconvenience.
