    Dangerous electric blankets are urgently recalled across UK over risk of setting beds ablaze

    A recall notice for an electric blanket is sweeping the UK following serious safety concerns.

    A GoodHome Saturnia Electric Blanket, sold by B&Q, had been found to contain an electrical component that can overheat, potentially causing the blanket or nearby furniture to catch fire.

    The beige-coloured blanket, which was on sale between November 2024 and December 2025, and carried the barcode 5059340980560.

    If the controller overheated and melted, live parts could have become exposed, posing a risk of electric shock to users.

    The product was found to not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.

    Customers are urged to cease using the product immediately, disconnect it from the mains power supply, and return it to their nearest B&Q store for a full refund.
