URGENT UPDATE: B&Q customers are being warned about a serious safety issue involving the GoodHome Saturnia Electric Blanket, which has been recalled due to a significant risk of fire and electric shock. Consumers are advised to stop using the product immediately.
The recall was initiated after reports indicated that the electric component of the blanket can overheat, potentially leading to a fire hazard. If the blanket overheats, both the product and nearby furniture could catch fire.

Affected customers are urged to take immediate action. The blanket was sold in stores and online between November 2024 and December 2025. The specific model is the GoodHome Saturnia Electric Blanket, available in beige, and can be identified by the barcode 5059340980560.
The OPSS has issued clear guidance for those in possession of the blanket: “Consumers are advised to stop using the product immediately, unplug it from the mains, and return it to their nearest B&Q store for a full refund.”
