What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with OCTROT Electric Thows and Blankets?
OCTROT Electric Thows and Blankets was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The electrical cord on the recalled throws and blankets can detach and ignite, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire, burn and shock hazards. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should stop using the recalled throws and blankets immediately and contact OCTROT for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to destroy the throws and blankets by unplugging the electrical cord and cutting it in half, and to send a photo of the destroyed product, showing the cut electrical cord, to OctrotRecall@gmail.com. Consumers should then dispose of the destroyed recalled products. Sold at: Online at Amazon.com from August 2021 through December 2025 for between $40 and $60.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 178,000 units of OCTROT Electric Thows and Blankets are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
