What Is Being Recalled?

If you bought 32 Degrees heated socks at Costco, stop wearing them now. David Peyser Sportswear, doing business as 32 Degrees, has recalled approximately 207,806 pairs of 32 Degrees heated socks because they can cause burns during high-intensity use. The remedy is a full refund from Costco.

The recall was announced on April 23, 2026 in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), recall number 26-435. The socks were sold exclusively at Costco warehouses and on Costco.com from August 2025 through March 2026, priced between $30 and $46 per pair.

Why Are These Heated Socks Being Recalled?

According to the CPSC, when the heated socks are worn during high-intensity activities that generate a combination of heat, excessive friction, moisture, and pressure, they can pose an injury hazard including burns.

The CPSC reported 14 incidents of burns related to the socks. Of those, 13 involved first- or second-degree burns.

How Do I Know If My Socks Are Affected?

The recalled socks are black and were sold in three sizes — medium, large, and extra large. You can identify them by the 32° HEAT branding, which appears on:

• The battery pack casing
• The battery pack packaging
• The user manual
• The exterior retail packaging for the socks

They were sold only at Costco warehouse locations and on Costco.com from August 2025 through March 2026 for between $30 and $46 per pair, under Costco item number 1872150 (in-store) and 1913659, 1913660, and 1913661 (Costco.com). The socks were imported by David Peyser Sportswear, doing business as 32 Degrees, of New York, New York. The socks were also sold at Costco locations in the United Kingdom, Iceland, and Sweden.


What Is the Remedy?

The remedy is a full refund. To get it:

• Stop using the heated socks immediately
• Return the socks to any Costco warehouse for a full refund
• If you purchased on Costco.com, you can also return them through the Costco.com online return portal

When you return the socks, bring all components if available — both socks and both battery packs. If you do not have every component, return whatever you have to your nearest Costco warehouse. Because the socks were sold exclusively at Costco, Costco processes the refund directly. No receipt is required — Costco can look up the purchase using your membership record, and gift purchasers are notified by Costco directly. For full details, see the official 32 Degrees heated sock recall page.

What If I Was Burned?

If you were burned while wearing the socks, seek medical care for the injury. The recall refund is not an injury-compensation program. Keep the socks, the battery pack, the packaging, and any photos of the injury, and preserve your medical records.

You can report the incident to the CPSC through SaferProducts.gov. If you experience problems with the recall remedy, you can file a complaint through the CPSC Recall Complaint Form. If you were seriously injured, you may wish to consult a product liability attorney about your options.

Safety Steps Right Now

• Stop wearing the recalled heated socks immediately
