Title: Not the Same Martex Vellux Blanket of 5 Years Ago
Product review: I currently own two Martex Vellux blankets that I bought about 5 years ago, but they both have holes from dog chewing. I decided to replace them with a new one as a test because I had read all of the bad reviews about these blankets recently. The one-star reviews hit the nail on the head! The new blanket I received is nothing like the previous two I own ... it is thinner than before, scratchy and unpleasant to touch (unlike the velour feeling of the previous ones), and a horrible chemical smell remains after washing. I was not comfortable breathing in the smell and loose fibers (which appeared after washing) all night while sleeping. The blanket will be returned to amazon.com this week. I am also going to write a letter to the manufacturer, but I strongly suggest that amazon.com discontinue these substandard products to not hurt their own stellar reputation!
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
