Thanks Graham. If the blanket goes on fire, it is very likely that I am dead.

I just found this on a google search of "electric blanket fire:"

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated that for the year 1996 electric blankets caused 400 residential fires, resulting in $6.6 million in property damage, 30 injuries, and 10 deaths. Sunbeam is currently the only manufacturer of electric blankets in the United States. In the past two decades Sunbeam has been named as a defendant in dozens of electric blanket fire claims.
