Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20250509-35D5B-2147331419. Matched catalog product: Prepared Hero Emergency Fire Blanket. Incident: I opened four Prepared Hero fire blankets to look at the size and I was thinking of wrapping some around my fire boxes for extra protection. I started to feel itchy and splintery, so I washed my hands twice. I decided I no longer wanted the blankets because I didn't like how they irritated my skin, so I spread them out to try to fold them back into the original packaging. After I put them back in the packaging is when I noticed a lot of fiberglass had shed onto my clothing, blanket, book case, etc. I immediately reported this to Amazon and then saw dozens of similar complaints/one-star reviews. I was gifted a Prepared Hero fire blanket about a year ago and had no problems with it.
