Title: Martex Vellux Blanket
Product review: Very Poor Quality & Horrible Chemical Odor! The blanket arrived smelling terrible. It had a strong chemical odor that I assume came from the manufacturing process. I had to launder it twice to get the odor out. I dried it in my automatic dryer both times, and it left a lot of fuzz in the lint filter both times. The blanket was very thin to begin with, and even thinner after the two launderings/dryings. After putting it on my bed and using it only a few nights, I discovered a tear in the middle of it. This blanket is NOT the same "Vellux" that was sold 20-25 years ago. I have had 3 of the original "Vellux" blankets for 20-25 years, and they are still in good shape. They are much thicker and sturdier than this "Vellux" blanket I purchased from Amazon in November, 2008. It is very thin and not at all sturdy, as evidenced by the tear after only a few nights' use.
