The CPSC said the Berkshire Blanket Heated Throws and Blankets came in a variety of colors and patterns and were sold at L.L. Bean, Amazon, Target, Macys, QVC, Army Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) stores and online at berkshireblanket.com. They retailed for between $50 and $180.

The items sold through L.L. Bean have both L.L. Bean and Berkshire Blanket branding. The others have just Berkshire Blanket branding.

The blankets were made to fit twin-, full/queen- or king-sized beds while the throws were 50 inches wide by 60 inches long. Both were made of polyester in blue, cream, gray, hummus, striped blue and a snowflake pattern, according to the CPSC.
