Approximately 29,840 Berkshire Blanket and L.L. Bean branded heated throws and blankets have been recalled because they can overheat, posing fire and thermal burn hazards. The firm has received nine reports of the products burning, melting, or overheating, though no injuries have been reported. These electric blankets were sold in various colors and patterns, including blue, cream, gray, hummus, and snowflake, and were distributed through L.L. Bean, AAFES stores, and major online retailers between August 2022 and October 2023. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and contact Berkshire Blanket & Home Co. for a full refund.
The blankets' internal heating elements can malfunction and overheat, causing the polyester fabric to burn or melt. This poses a significant risk of starting a fire or causing thermal burn injuries to consumers while they are sleeping or resting with the bedding.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled electric throws and blankets and contact Berkshire Blanket & Home Co. for a full refund. Consumers must complete an online recall registration form, submit a photo of the destroyed blanket showing the cut cord, and submit a photo of the wash label after writing "Refund" and an assigned 5-digit refund code on the wash label to receive a full refund.
Tracker numbers are printed on the wash label.
