Why Sauna Blankets and Heated Blankets Can Be Dangerous

Unlike small heating pads, sauna blankets wrap around the body and trap heat, increasing the risk of overheating and burns. Heated blankets, commonly used on beds, also pose risks if their wiring or auto shut-off mechanisms fail. Both types of products combine electricity and heat in close contact with the body, which can create dangerous conditions when defects occur.

Common defects include:

• Overheating beyond safe levels – Temperatures rise too high, burning the skin.
• Auto shut-off failures – Blankets remain hot for prolonged periods without stopping.
• Electrical shorts or sparks – Malfunctions that ignite fires.
• Poor wiring or insulation – Exposing users to electrical shock.
• Inadequate warnings – Many products fail to alert users with certain medical conditions—such as diabetes, neuropathy, or cardiovascular issues—that they may be at higher risk of injury.

When these products fail, users may be unable to remove them quickly enough, leading to severe burns, heat-related illness, or even property loss.

Common Injuries From Defective Sauna and Heated Blankets

Malfunctions involving sauna blankets and heated blankets often cause more than minor discomfort. Victims culd suffer from:

• Second- and third-degree burns – Injuries that may require skin grafts, surgeries, and extended recovery.
• Heat exhaustion and heat stroke – Caused by excessive body temperature during use.
• Nerve damage – Prolonged exposure to high heat can cause lasting nerve injuries.
• Permanent scarring and disfigurement – Especially in sensitive areas of the body.
• Electrical shock injuries – From poor wiring or damaged insulation.
• House or apartment fires – Resulting in property damage and family displacement.
• Wrongful death – In tragic cases, fires or severe heat-related conditions may prove fatal.

These injuries can leave victims with overwhelming medical bills, time away from work, and lasting emotional trauma.

Liability for Heated Blanket and Sauna Blanket Injuries

When a defective product causes harm, several parties may be held accountable under product liability law. Potentially responsible parties include:

• Manufacturers – Companies that designed or built the blanket may be liable if the product was unsafe.
• Retailers – Popular outlets such as Amazon, Walmart, Target, or specialty wellness stores may face responsibility for selling defective blankets.
• Distributors – Businesses that placed unsafe products into the consumer marketplace.
• Luxury wellness brands – Even high-end companies like HigherDose and similar brands have faced consumer complaints about overheating and safety issues.

Victims generally do not need to prove negligence. Instead, product liability law typically requires showing that the blanket was defective and that the defect directly caused the injury.

Compensation in a Sauna Blanket or Heated Blanket Injury Claim

If you were harmed by a defective heated or sauna blanket, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Damages may include:

• Medical expenses – Hospital care, burn treatment, surgeries, and ongoing rehabilitation.
• Lost wages – Compensation for missed work and reduced future earning capacity.
• Pain and suffering – For both physical pain and emotional trauma.
• Permanent disability or disfigurement – Compensation for lasting impairments or scars.
• Property damage – Recovery for fires or damage caused to your home or belongings.
• Wrongful death damages – Funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and loss of financial support for families who lost a loved one.

Each case is unique, but an experienced product liability lawyer can help determine the full value of your claim and fight for maximum compensation.

Sauna Blanket Recalls and Consumer Safety

As demand for wellness products grows, defective sauna blankets and heated blankets are increasingly entering the marketplace. Some models have been subject to recalls due to overheating, auto shut-off failures, and fire risks. Unfortunately, many consumers are unaware of recalls until after an injury occurs.

Even if your blanket was not recalled, you may still have a valid claim if it was defective and caused harm. Product liability claims are not limited to recalled products.

What To Do After a Heated or Sauna Blanket Injury

If you or someone you love was injured by a sauna blanket or heated blanket:

1. Seek medical treatment immediately – Burns and heat-related illnesses require prompt evaluation.
2. Preserve the product – Do not throw away the blanket, cord, or packaging. These may serve as critical evidence.
3. Take photographs – Document your injuries, the product, and any damage caused (such as fire damage).
4. Save receipts and records – Keep proof of purchase, warranty information, and any recall notices.
5. Speak with a lawyer before accepting a refund – Companies may offer a refund or replacement, but this does not cover your medical bills, lost income, or long-term suffering.
