Fieldsheer Recalls Heated Socks After Burn Injuries

Fieldsheer Apparel Technologies has recalled approximately 45,000 pairs of heated socks in the U.S. and over 26,000 in Canada because of burn and blister hazards linked to excessive heat, friction, moisture, and pressure, especially during high-intensity activities. The recall affects several models of merino wool heated socks sold from August 2021 to June 2025 at major retailers, including Home Depot, Meijer, Scheels All Sports, and Amazon, with prices ranging from $80 to $130. Health Canada and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reported multiple incidents: 19 injuries in Canada and 11 in the U.S., with at least one injury in each country. Consumers are advised to stop using the socks immediately and contact Fieldsheer for a refund or replacement. The lithium-ion battery packs included should be disposed of at municipal hazardous waste facilities. Fieldsheer provides support via their website, phone, and email.
