IdeaVillage is recalling about 5,200 BrightLight blankets because the batteries used to power the LED lights can overheat. The firm has received four reports of batteries overheating, including one instance where a consumer suffered a minor burn to their finger. These white polyester blankets measure 40-inches by 60-inches and were sold online and by phone for approximately $40. Consumers should stop using the blanket and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement.
The battery compartment located in the zippered pouch on the edge of the blanket can malfunction and overheat during use. This poses a direct burn hazard to anyone using or touching the blanket, and one minor burn injury has already been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled blankets and contact IdeaVillage for a free replacement blanket. IdeaVillage is contacting its customers directly.
