Plunge Buddy LLC (doing business as DIY Cold Plunge) is recalling about 675 DIY Sauna Heater Kits because electrical components inside the kit can overheat. The product is a self-assembly heating fixture with a stainless steel cage and ceramic bulb sockets intended for use in home-built saunas. The firm has received 12 reports of the units overheating, though no fires or injuries have been reported. These kits were sold online at diycoldplunge.com between March 2025 and February 2026.
The electrical conductors within the heater kit can overheat, which poses a significant fire hazard and a risk of serious injury or death to users inside or near the sauna.
Consumers should stop using the recalled Sauna Heater Kit immediately and register at www.diycoldplunge.com/pages/recall for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to submit written and photo proof that the product has been destroyed/disposed of or request a prepaid shipping label to return the product.
