MaxKare brand electric blankets are being recalled because they can overheat and ignite, posing serious fire and burn risks. Approximately 8,560 units are affected by this recall, which follows 34 reports of the blankets overheating, including three reports of burn injuries and two reports of the blankets catching on fire. The affected blankets were sold in brown and gray colors in twin, full, and queen sizes exclusively on Walmart.com between September 2024 and May 2025. Consumers should immediately stop using these blankets and contact the manufacturer for a full refund.
The internal heating elements in the blankets can malfunction and overheat, causing the fabric to ignite. This has resulted in several reports of fires and burn injuries to users.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled blankets and contact Yumo for instructions on how to properly dispose of the blankets. Consumers will be asked to upload a photo of the blanket to yumoofficial@126.com and confirm disposal in order to get a full refund.
