Question

I got a seat cover for xmas i was told that its fire hazardous , i have heated seats in my car...?

Answer 1

If your heated seats have a problem and start a fire the covers are the last thing you will need to worry about.  The seat covers alone will not ignite just from the heated seats but it there is a spark or you smoke cigarettes while driving and it drops on the seat then you can have a problem.

It's basically the same warning issued to halloween costumes that ignite from sparklers.  Under normal use there is no problem.

Answer 2

Unless the seats spontaniously combust the factory seat heaters dont get that hot if they did they would have to burn through the fact cover first.

Answer 3

http://www.customcovers.com sells custom seat covers for cars and those seat covers have the quality of fire resistant.. so if you have  a heated problem with your seat. then you have to purchase a seat cover from http://www.customcovers.com and feel the difference

Answer 4

I wouldn't worry about that ... most of such products have to give warnings like that to cover their a#$%& for legal reasons. If you light a match to it ... it will ignite.

Also does this product have any safety certifications on it, if so do some reasearch on the company that certified its saftey and if needed contact them for more information about its safety.
