Overview
- The CPSC announced a voluntary recall Thursday covering 207,806 pairs of 32 Degrees heated socks sold only at Costco.
- Officials have logged 14 heat-related incidents, including 13 first- or second-degree burns.
- The recalled pairs were sold from August 2025 through March 2026 in black, sizes medium, large, and extra large, for $30 to $46.
- Consumers are told to stop using the socks and return them to Costco for a full refund, with the retailer handling in-store and online returns.
- The notice does not pinpoint a single technical cause but flags risk from the mix of heat, friction, moisture, and pressure, underscoring safety gaps in battery-heated clothing during hard use.
