Sauna Blanket Burn Lawyers

Sauna blankets are marketed as a convenient alternative to traditional saunas, often advertised for detoxification, relaxation, pain relief, and weight loss. Unlike standard heating blankets, sauna blankets fully wrap around the body and are typically used for extended periods, often while the user is sweating. While these products are promoted as safe, they can cause serious burn injuries, overheating, electrical fires, and even wrongful death when they malfunction.

If you or a loved one were injured by a sauna blanket, you may have the right to bring a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer. The Law Offices of Jason Turchin represents victims nationwide who were harmed by unsafe consumer products, including sauna blankets.

How Sauna Blankets Work

Sauna blankets use infrared heat, electrical wiring, and enclosed fabric layers to raise body temperature and simulate a sauna session. While the concept sounds harmless, combining heat, sweat, and electricity can create dangerous conditions.

Common Risks of Sauna Blankets

• Burns from overheating – Malfunctioning heat controls can cause temperatures to rise to unsafe levels.
• Electrical shocks or fires – Faulty wiring may ignite or short-circuit.
• Dehydration and heat exhaustion – Prolonged sessions may stress the cardiovascular system.
• Skin burns from contact points – Areas with frayed wiring or poor insulation may deliver direct heat to the skin.
• Defective shut-off timers – Units that fail to power down as advertised may overheat.

Types of Sauna Blanket Injuries

Victims of sauna blanket accidents may experience:

• Second- and third-degree burns
• Permanent scarring and disfigurement
• Nerve damage
• Smoke inhalation from fires
• Severe dehydration or heat stroke
• Wrongful death in extreme cases of fire or overheating

Where Sauna Blanket Injuries Happen

• Homes and apartments
