Injuries that can be Caused by This Product
Electric blankets can easily overheat and catch on fire, which can lead to catastrophic injuries. Even without a fire, the victim can end up with thermal burns that penetrate the skin and cause permanent damage, like scars and disfigurement. If the injuries penetrate deep enough through the skin layers, the underlying nerves can be damaged as well, leading to paralysis or limited mobility in that area.
Another source of danger in these accidents is smoke, which can happen with or without a fire. Those who are asleep are especially vulnerable to injuries from smoke inhalation, such as carbon monoxide poisoning, seizures, and cardiac arrest. To ensure the best possible recovery from your accident, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.
What to Do after a Defective Product Accident
We want you to have a strong case against the manufacturer right from the beginning, so please take the steps listed below if you’ve sustained injuries from a recalled Sunbeam heated blanket:
- If at all possible, use your phone to take photos of your injuries, the defective product, and any damage to your property.
- Get contact information from any witnesses that may be able to provide you with a written statement.
- See a doctor right away to treat your injuries and generate medical records, which you will need for a compensation claim.
- Call the manufacturer to report the accident, but do not agree to return the product or accept a refund.
- Obtain legal advice from a lawyer that’s experienced in defective product accident cases.
