Safety checks for electric blankets

Wandsworth Fire Brigade and local Trading Standards officers have rescheduled their free safety check session for electric blankets to this Wednesday, 19 November.

The checks take place at Wandsworth Fire Station in West Hill - nearly opposite the former West Hill Library and on the corner of Lebanon Road.

The horrifying injuries an electric blanket catching fire can cause makes it surely worth the ten minutes or so it takes to make sure it is safe and set to go this Winter.

To book a time to pop in, or to see if you can schedule a different day, call 020 8871 6178. Or email tradingstandards@wandsworth.gov.uk - you'll need to provide a contact phone number in your email though.
