Overview
- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on Thursday for roughly 195,000–200,000 JKMAX heated blankets and heating pads sold on Amazon between September 2022 and July 2026.
- Regulators say internal heating elements can overheat, and the recall follows 577 reports of smoking, melting or burning that include 53 reported burn injuries.
- The recall covers models JKMAX-002, JKMAX-7284B, JKMAX-6284B, JKMAX-10090B and JKMAX-8490B, which can be identified by the model number on the back of the detachable white remote or on the product label.
- Consumers are instructed to stop using recalled products immediately and contact JKMAX for a full refund through the company’s recall phone number, email or website, and the CPSC recall number is 26-778.
- The items were imported by Jiande Pengshuai Trading Co. Ltd. of China, and the recall highlights how high-volume online sales can distribute defective heating products widely before regulators intervene, a key concern ahead of the colder season.
