@Mindy D....I wrote in one of my posts recently that I wanted no wires running through my blankets or throws. 

THIS is why.

@Mindy D  Glad you posted this. I don't own one but i just saw Mary D on the main channel selling this item 😳

@cheriere  I know ~ right?  The only reason I noticed is because I cannot stand those presentations ~ just too many recently I guess.

@MindyD - thank you for alerting us to this potential danger! I hope that The Q will immediately take note of this and cease promoting and selling these blankets.

One problem I see is that the only product number listed for these products is QVC's own item number.

Just because they were selling the throws, does not mean they are selling recalled throws.  I have one of the throws.  It is NOT one of those recalled.  Thank you for letting us know, Mindy.
