Denbighshire County Council’s Trading Standards team are set to host a free Electric Blanket session at Denbigh Library on Monday 9th of December.
Held to help educate residents on electrical safety, the Trading Standards Team will be joined by a qualified engineer, who will test any double or single electric blanket as long as all leads, controls and plugs associated with the electric blankets are brought along for testing.
No appointments are necessary, and the drop in session will run from 10.00am until 4.00pm. If electric blankets are found to have failed the safety test, a new one will be provided free of charge (subject to availability). Any blankets over 10 years old will automatically fail.
Councillor Alan James, Lead Member for Local Development and Planning said:
“Faulty electric blankets are a common cause of fire in the home, therefore it is important that they are tested regularly.
“As the colder weather continues, many people will begin using their Electric Blankets once more. This free session will allow residents to have some peace of mind about using them, allowing them to use them confidently in their homes this winter.”
