Many Heated Socks from Costco Are Recalled Because They Can Burn You

Introduction

The government group CPSC says people must stop using 32 Degrees Heated Socks. About 207,806 pairs of these socks were sold at Costco stores and online from August 2025 to March 2026. The socks can burn your skin.

Main Body

The socks come in three sizes: medium, large, and extra large. They are black. The battery case and the box say "32° HEAT." The socks can hurt you when you do hard activities. These activities make heat, wetness, and pressure. Then the socks can burn you. The CPSC got 14 reports about the socks. 13 of these reports were about burns. People should stop using the socks now. They can take them back to any Costco store for a full refund. The company 32 Degrees says the socks were only sold at Costco. Do not send them back to the company. There is also a recall of about 740,000 Granitestone Diamond Pro Blue pans. These pans were sold at Costco, Walmart, and Amazon from August 2021 to February 2026. A metal cap on the pan handle can come off and fly out when the pan is hot. This can hurt people. The company E. Mishan & Sons got 98 reports of this problem. One person got bruises and burns. The pans cost about $40 for two.

Conclusion

The recall of the socks shows that some products can be dangerous in certain situations. The recall of the pans shows that some products have problems from the factory. People should follow the return rules for both products.
