By NANCY SECRIST Extension Agent Although electric blankets generally are safe, they present potential shock, burn and fire hazards when mishandled. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for use and care of the electric blanket. Do not use an electric blanket in a baby’s crib, for a helpless person, or for a person insensitive to heat. Do not sit or lie on electric blankets. Do not pin them to the mattress as pins can damage the wiring. Do not fold an electric blanket while it is in use. Do not tuck in the wired area. Do not dryclean or use dry ‘^cleaning fluids. Instead of an electric blanket, why not use an extra blanket and save electricity!
