Product Safety Warning Details

Description:

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using iHeat heated insoles because the internal lithium-ion battery can explode and ignite, even when the insoles are turned off, posing a risk of serious burn injury and fire hazard. CPSC has received 11 reports of fires, explosions and other thermal incidents involving the defective heated insoles, including eight reports of burn injuries, with some injuries being second- and third-degree burns.

Zhangfengqing, d/b/a iHeat, of China, manufactures this product and has been unresponsive to CPSC requests for information about this product or a recall.

The defective heated insoles are black or red and contain a lithium-ion battery powered by a remote control. For black insoles, the brand name "iHeat" is printed on the sole. This brand name can also be found on the purchase receipt for both the black and red insoles. The defective heated insoles were sold on Amazon from November 2022 through July 2024 for between $48 and $80.

These products were manufactured in China.

CPSC urges consumers to immediately dispose of the defective heated insoles following local hazardous waste disposal procedures.

Note: Do not throw this defective lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, in the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or in used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Defective lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this defective lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact it ahead of time and ask whether it accepts defective lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance.

About the U.S. CPSC

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.

Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
