What happened

Biddeford Textile Corp. has recalled electric blankets sold under the model names Controlled Comfort, EH 2000, Starbright, Staywarm, Supreme 21, and Warm Comfort with serial numbers A001A to C210C.

You can identify affected blankets by checking the label near where the control switch plugs in for the Biddeford Textile Corporation name, model name, and serial number.
