5. There are those who claim...

.. it might be bad for you, but I think they are in the minority.

You are basically exposing yourself to 60 Hz electromagnetic radiation. If it were 600 MHz, then there is wider agreement that it might be harmful.

As far as I know, there has been no study that proves that heating pads and electric blankets (same thing) are dangerous. I use an electric blanket now and then, I'm not worried. :)
