Gobi Heat recalls rechargeable hand warmers over fire risk
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the battery-powered warmers can overheat and catch fire, and anyone who bought one should stop using it right away.
Gobi Heat is recalling its rechargeable hand warmers because the battery and electrical parts inside can overheat and catch fire, the Consumer Product Safety Commission says CPSC. About 5,500 were sold nationwide, plus about 47 in Canada, and anyone who has one should stop using it right away CPSC.
The company sold the warmers online at GobiHeat.com from October 2024 through August 2026 for between $20 and $40 CPSC. No injuries have been reported CPSC.
What to do
Anyone with one of the recalled warmers should stop using it immediately CPSC. Gobi Heat is offering a full refund or store credit equal to the purchase price plus 20% of that amount CPSC. Consumers will be asked to get a claim number from the company's recall page CPSC. They will then need to mark the warmer "Recalled" in permanent marker and send a photo of it, showing the model number, to the company CPSC.
After that, the warmer should be disposed of along with its lithium-ion battery according to local hazardous-waste rules CPSC. Gobi Heat can be reached at 888-462-4743 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or by email at recall@gobiheat.com CPSC.
The recall is nationwide and the commission does not break the sales figures down by state, so there is no local count for New Carlisle CPSC.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced this recall on October 1, 2026, under recall number 27009 CPSC.
