  My understanding is that they used to be a fire hazard a few decades ago, but have improved significantly in safety since. Plus you don’t have to sleep with it on; using it to warm up the sheets before you crawl into bed is often sufficient, depending on your climate.

    If something catches fire it’s probably the cheap plastic controller rather than the blanket itself. I just don’t leave mine plugged in when I dont use it.
