Free electric blanket safety checks

1 minute read

With this incredible heat wave you’ve probably forgotten all about your electric blanket in the back of your cupboard. But do you remember when you last had a safety check for it?

Blanket failure rate is still over 20 per cent and you risk very serious injury and fire.

Give yourself some piece of mind and book a safety check from Oxfordshire County Council’s trading standards today and you’ll be safe and ready for when the weather turns. The tests are free so it is well worth taking advantage of this opportunity – no matter how long ago you last tested your blanket.

Call 01865 895999 or email communityengagement@oxfordshire.gov.uk to book a slot.
