I've been wondering if it's dangerous to be in bed with the electric blanket on.
I've heard you can get electrocuted. Is it true? False? Why?

Not much chance of Electrocution, but it is possible, for example a short in the main wire.

dunno bout being electroctuted, i think this would only happen if the outer casing of the wire was showing and you touched it, and even then i doubt the force would be strong enough to electrocute anyone. BUT i do know if you fall asleep with it still on you can wake up with a bad back in the morning!!

They have been known th short out and cause fires, I for one wouldn't use one, but, if it is a dire situation,, really COLD and no heat in the house, and you susepable, generaly they are safe-ish.
