I've used an electric blanket for years and never got a rash from it, OH suffers prickly heat rash very easily but never in the Winter when we use the blanket.. I've never heard of this happening honestly, why are you worrying about something that probably won't happen?

I've never heard of that.
In any case it would be very bad for the company?

If I forget to turn mine off and get hot and sweat in the night I am more likely to get spots on my back.

Had the whole of their cash in his care.

I've never heard of this. The electric blanket isn't even touching the skin.

Agree with this- if the blanket is touching your skin, your doing something wrong!
