Tech Gear 5.7 has recalled about 4,000 pairs of Mobile Warming Performance Heated Socks because the lithium-ion battery can overheat, melt, or ignite if charged with a different charger. There have been four reports of batteries overheating or melting, causing minor property damage in two cases. These gray poly-cotton blend socks were sold nationwide and online at Amazon and Mobile Warming between September and November 2018 for approximately $130. Consumers should immediately stop using the socks and contact the firm for a free replacement or a full refund.
The battery packs can overheat and catch fire if an incompatible charger is used, creating a serious risk of burns to the user or fire damage to the surrounding environment.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled socks, remove the battery and contact the firm for instructions on how to receive a free replacement pair of socks with battery or a full refund.
