I know of two house fires that have happened within a mile of my home, both caused by old, defective electric blankets. Both houses were totally destroyed. No one was injured. DO NOT USE an electric blanket that is 10 years old. Buy a new one. Throw the old one away or dispose of the controller if you want to keep the blanket and use it non-electrically. You are literally playing with fire.

Definately. Ours used to get hot spots as well as cool spots.
