Buckinghamshire Council, GB educates residents about electric blanket safety at public events

Buckinghamshire Council, GB Electric Blanket Safety Events

Two events at local libraries offered free electric blanket inspections by the Buckinghamshire & Surrey Trading Standards. Assessors examined blankets for uneven heating, burning smells, and other unsafe characteristics. Residents received free replacements ahead of the cold winter months if their old blankets were diverted for recycling. Each event also presented guidance on safe electric blanket purchases, use, and disposal.
