“When worn during high-intensity activities that generate a combination of heat, excessive friction, moisture and pressure, the socks can pose an injury hazard including burns.”
The socks are battery-powered heated socks designed to keep feet warm during outdoor and physical activities. The combination of the heating element and the physical conditions created during vigorous use has been linked to reports of serious burn injuries to consumers’ feet.
How Many People Were Burned?
The CPSC has confirmed 14 heat-related incidents involving the recalled 32 Degrees Heated Socks. Of those, 13 involved first- or second-degree burns.
First-degree burns affect the outer layer of skin and may involve redness, pain, and minor swelling. Second-degree burns are more serious, penetrating deeper layers of skin and potentially requiring medical attention.
