Dunelm recalls Cosy & Warm electric blankets due to fire risk

Dunelm has issued a recall for specific batches of their Cosy & Warm Electric Blankets due to safety concerns. The issue arises from the copper wires in the cable, which may fray and cause overheating during use, posing a fire risk. This recall affects various models of the electric blanket sold in the Republic of Ireland, specifically those from the years 2022 and 2023.

Consumers should check the care label on their electric blanket to see if their barcode and batch number match the affected products. Approximately 867 blankets are involved in this recall. If you find that your blanket is affected, it is crucial to stop using it immediately and unplug it from the mains to prevent any potential hazards.

To address this issue, customers can contact Dunelm's customer service for a free upgraded cable or return the affected blanket and cable to any Dunelm store for a full refund.
