The Office for Product Safety and Standards published a product recall on 15 December 2025 for the B&Q GoodHome Saturnia electric blanket, which presents a risk of fire and electric shock1. The recall from end users was carried out by Kingfisher International Products Limited, and the alert was notified by Local Authority Trading Standards1.
The fault identified is that an electric component can overheat. The notice states that if the controller overheats and melts, live parts may become exposed, which could lead to the user receiving an electric shock, and that the product or surrounding furniture could overheat and catch fire1. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 20161.
The recalled blanket is beige, carries the barcode 5059340980560 and was made in China1. It was sold between November 2024 and December 20251. The Office for Product Safety and Standards lists it under electrical appliances and equipment, in the personal warming and massaging category1.
