The gloves can overheat or develop hotspots during use, posing a burn hazard to consumers. CPSC has received 137 reported overheating incidents, including 119 burn injuries.
The manufacturer, Jining Liexing Outdoor Products Co., Ltd., of China, has not responded to a request for an acceptable recall.
The gloves were sold in black and contain a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack in a zippered pocket at the base of the glove. The gloves are sold with a black carrying case and charger. About 58,700 units were sold on Amazon from September 2019 through the present for between $9 and $140.
The gloves were manufactured in China.
CPSC urges consumers to immediately remove the battery from the gloves and dispose of the battery following local hazardous waste disposal procedures.
Note:Do not throw the lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact that office ahead of time and ask whether it accepts lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance.
Note: Individual Commissioners may have statements related to this topic. Please visit http://www.cpsc.gov/commissioners to search for statements related to this or other topics.
