32 Degrees Heated Socks Recalled Nationwide Due to Burn Hazard

Approximately 207,806 pairs of 32 Degrees Heated Socks have been recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission due to a burn hazard. The affected socks, sold in black and three sizes (medium, large, and extra-large), can pose an injury risk, including burns, when worn during high-intensity activities. This is due to a combination of heat, friction, moisture, and pressure that can occur under such conditions. The brand name “32° HEAT” is visible on the battery pack casing, its packaging, the user manual, and the retail packaging.

The recalled heated socks were available for purchase at Costco stores and online at Costco.com between August 2025 and March 2026. Consumers can identify the recalled product by checking for the “32° HEAT” branding. The importer of these socks is David Peyser Sportswear, also known as 32 Degrees, based in New York, New York. The products were manufactured in China.

Consumers who purchased these heated socks should immediately cease using them. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advises that the socks be returned to Costco for a full refund.
