[RFI] Chattam & Wells/Perfect Fit Industries Electric Blanket

[Hare, Ed W1RFI]

The reports I have back is that they will exchange them upon complaint.

I can hear a couple of them on my way to work.  The strongest one in my neighborhood is at 304 George Washington Tpke, and the owner has stated in no uncertain terms that she is going to continue to use the product.  I may ask her to get a replacement in the spring so I can see how much better it is.
