Heated socks sold at Costco have been recalled after customers reported burn injuries, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).<\/p>\n
The 32 Degrees Heated Socks were sold in medium, large and extra large. The CPSC report said when the socks are worn during “high intensity activities” they pose a potential burn hazard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to the CPSC, there were 14 reported heat-related incidents with the socks, and 13 of them involved first- or second-degree partial thickness burns.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The CPSC did not specify whether the issue stems from the battery pack, heating elements or prolonged heat exposure.<\/p>\n

About 207,806 packs of socks were recalled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The affected socks were sold at both Costco retailers and online at Costco.com from August 2025 through March 2026, ranging from $30 and $46 in price.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Consumers are urged to stop using the socks immediately and return them to Costco for a full refund. For additional information, customers can contact 32 Degrees toll-free at 833-997-2452 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email recall@32degrees.com or visit the company\u2019s website and click “Sock Recall” under the Support section.<\/p>\n
The recall underscores a broader concern with heated wearable products, where items marketed for everyday comfort can pose risks when used in real-world conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since consumers increasingly rely on battery-powered apparel during active use \u2014 from outdoor work to exercise \u2014 the reported injuries highlight a potential gap between how these products are expected to perform and how they actually function under higher-intensity activity.<\/p>\n
The recall comes as Costco has faced other recent product safety issues, including a Generac portable generator sold through the retailer that was recalled over fire risks.<\/p>\n
