More than 200,000 pairs of heated socks sold at Costco are being recalled after officials received reports of people suffering first- and second-degree burns, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
CPSC’s recall notice posted Thursday, April 23, says the “32 Degree Heated Socks” can pose a “risk of injury, including burns” when the user is performing high-intensity activities that generate a combination of “heat, excessive friction, moisture, and pressure.”
The recalled 207,000 socks were sold at Costco stores and online between August 2025 and March 2026, priced from $30 to $46 per pair. The recall notice said the socks were sold in three sizes: medium, large and extra large, all in black.
“Consumers should immediately stop using the heated socks and return them to Costco for a full refund,” the CPSC said.
According to the CPSC, 14 “heat-related incidents” have been recorded, 13 of which involved first- or second-degree burns.
What should customers do?
The CPSC asks any customers who have the recalled socks to immediately stop using them and return them to Costco for a full refund. Customers who purchased the recalled socks online can return the recalled socks through Costco’s online returns portal.
