More than 200,000 32 Degrees heated socks recalled over burn risk

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled more than 200,000 pairs of 32 Degrees heated socks sold at Costco after reports of first- and second-degree burn injuries.

The recall covers products sold between August 2025 and March 2026, and consumers who purchased the socks can return them to any Costco location for a full refund.

The CPSC announced the recall after receiving reports of more than a dozen incidents involving the product, some of which resulted in first- and second-degree burns, according to the agency's recall notice.

The commission determined the socks pose a burn hazard when heat, friction, moisture and pressure combine during high-intensity use, according to the CPSC.

The 32 Degrees brand socks were sold at Costco warehouse locations and through the retailer's website between August 2025 and March 2026, the agency said.

Consumers who purchased the recalled product are urged to stop using the socks immediately, the CPSC said. The agency is directing buyers to return the socks to Costco for a full refund.

The CPSC said full recall details, including product identification information and return procedures, are available through the agency.
