Smart Glasses Sold on Amazon Recalled Over Dangerous Overheating and Burn Risk

A recall has been issued for INMO AIR3 Smart Glasses after reports that the wearable devices can become dangerously hot during extended use, potentially exposing users to serious burns.

The recall affects approximately 1,643 pairs of INMO AIR3 Smart Glasses sold in the United States, according to a recall notice issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on September 24, 2026. An additional 120 pairs were reportedly sold in Canada.

The affected glasses were manufactured in China and imported by INMO International Technology Limited. They were sold online between December 2025 and August 2026, with prices ranging from approximately $900 to $1,300.

Consumers who own the affected smart glasses have been advised to stop using them immediately and contact INMO for a free repair.

Why Are INMO AIR3 Smart Glasses Being Recalled?

The safety concern involves the left temple of the smart glasses. According to the CPSC recall notice, this part of the device can become dangerously hot during prolonged use.

Because the temple rests against the side of a user's head, excessive heat could expose the face or ear to burns. The CPSC describes the problem as presenting a risk of serious injury or death.

INMO International Technology Limited has received 10 reports involving the glasses overheating. Some users reported experiencing a burning sensation on their faces and on the left side of their ears.

The recall was formally announced on September 24, 2026.

Consumers should not continue using the affected glasses while waiting for the issue to be resolved.

How to Identify the Recalled Smart Glasses

The recall specifically covers the INMO AIR3 model.

The affected smart glasses are black and can be identified by the words "AIR3" and "INMO" on a label attached to the right temple.

INMO AIR3 glasses are wearable smart devices offering features such as artificial intelligence-powered translation, productivity tools and media streaming.

The glasses were sold online from December 2025 through August 2026. According to the recall information, they were available through Amazon, INMO's online store and Kickstarter.

Prices varied considerably, ranging from about $900 to $1,300.

Both the importer, INMO International Technology Limited, and the manufacturing operation associated with the recalled glasses are based in China.

What Should Owners of INMO AIR3 Glasses Do?

Consumers who have the recalled AIR3 glasses should immediately stop using them.

INMO is offering a free repair designed to address the overheating problem. According to the recall notice, the company will assist owners with updating the operating system of their smart glasses to version V3.16 online.

Consumers can contact INMO toll-free at 888-212-9620 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.

The company can also be contacted by email at support.usa@inmoxr.com. Recall information and instructions are available through INMO's official recall webpage.

Owners should follow the manufacturer's recall instructions rather than attempting to modify, repair or troubleshoot an overheating device themselves.

Other Battery-Powered Products Recalled Over Fire and Burn Concerns

The INMO AIR3 recall was not the only battery-related safety action announced by the CPSC on September 24.

Several other consumer products containing rechargeable batteries were recalled over concerns involving overheating, burns or fires.

The Blue Cactus Company recalled approximately 51,000 battery packs designed for reclining chairs. The recall followed four reports involving batteries that overheated, smoked or caught fire.

The affected Blue Cactus battery packs were sold on Amazon for approximately $105.

NEWDERY also recalled approximately 21,380 power banks following reports involving fires or explosions.

According to the CPSC notice, nine incidents were reported in connection with the NEWDERY power banks. Those incidents included a burn injury and a fire associated with approximately $2 million in property damage.

The power banks were sold on Amazon for roughly $27 to $50.

Consumers with affected Blue Cactus or NEWDERY products were instructed to stop using them and contact the respective companies for the remedy specified in their recall notices, such as a replacement or refund.

Portable Sleep Machines Also Recalled

Love To Dream recalled approximately 4,000 portable sleep machines because of another potential lithium-ion battery hazard.

According to the CPSC, batteries inside the affected sleep machines can overheat when the devices are used with an incompatible charger. This creates potential fire and burn hazards.

At the time of the recall notice, however, no incidents or injuries associated with the recalled sleep machines had been reported.

The different recalls highlight the importance of following manufacturer charging instructions for rechargeable electronics and responding promptly when an official safety recall is announced.

How Should Recalled Lithium-Ion Batteries Be Disposed Of?

Consumers should also exercise caution when disposing of recalled products containing lithium-ion batteries.

The CPSC advises that recalled lithium-ion batteries should not be placed in ordinary household garbage.

They should also not be put into curbside recycling containers or deposited in battery recycling collection boxes commonly found at retail stores.

Instead, consumers should contact a local household hazardous waste facility to determine whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries. Local municipal authorities may also be able to provide instructions for appropriate disposal.

This is important because damaged, defective or recalled lithium-ion batteries can pose a different risk than ordinary household waste.

Consumers should follow both the recall manufacturer's instructions and applicable local disposal requirements.

What the INMO AIR3 Recall Means for Consumers

Smart glasses combine conventional eyewear with increasingly powerful electronics, including displays, processors, wireless connectivity and rechargeable batteries. That means hardware safety can be just as important as software functionality.

For owners of the INMO AIR3, the immediate recommendation is straightforward. Stop using the affected glasses and follow INMO's instructions for obtaining the free repair and operating system update.

Consumers considering secondhand smart glasses should also check the model number and recall status before purchasing or using a device. Products affected by recalls can remain in circulation through resale marketplaces long after the original sales period ends.

Anyone who experiences unusual heat, swelling, smoke, odors or other signs of a battery problem should stop using the affected electronic device and follow appropriate manufacturer and safety guidance.
