Costco has issued an urgent recall for 207,806 packs of its 32 Degrees Heated Socks following reports of burn injuries among users. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) noted 14 incidents linked to the socks, with 13 cases resulting in first or second-degree burns. The recall affects socks sold in medium, large, and extra-large sizes from August 2025 to March 2026, priced between $30 and $46. Customers are urged to stop using the socks immediately and return them to Costco for a full refund. The CPSC has not determined whether the burns are caused by the battery pack, heating elements, or prolonged heat exposure. This incident highlights the potential risks associated with heated wearable products, which may not perform safely during high-intensity activities. Costco has faced similar safety concerns in the past, including recalls of other products due to fire risks.
