Fieldsheer Heated Socks Recall Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

Fieldsheer Apparel Technologies heated socks, models MWMS05, MWMS07 and MWWS07, are under an ongoing recall. The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced it on August 7, 2025, in conjunction with Health Canada. About 45,000 pairs were recalled in the United States. The recalled socks come in four color combinations and sizes small through extra-large, each with two lithium-ion battery packs. Worn during high-intensity activity, a combination of heat, friction, moisture and pressure can cause pain, discomfort, burns and blisters. Anyone who owns a pair should stop wearing them immediately and reach out to Fieldsheer Apparel Technologies for a refund or a replacement.

August 7, 2025: CPSC and Health Canada Announce the Recall

The CPSC, in conjunction with Health Canada, announced a recall of about 45,000 pairs of Fieldsheer Apparel Technologies heated socks [1, 2]. The recall covers models MWMS05, MWMS07 and MWWS07, recall number 25-423. The agencies acted after the firm logged 11 incident reports in the United States, each involving pain and discomfort. Four of those reports involved burns or blisters from the same mix of heat, moisture, friction and pressure described above.

Which Fieldsheer Heated Socks Are Affected?

The recall covers three models of Fieldsheer Apparel Technologies merino wool heated socks, identified by model number, color and size:

• Model MWMS05 – black/gray, gray/orange, gray/pink or black/orange, sizes small to extra-large, with a four-button remote and battery pack model MW37V122
• Model MWMS07 – same color and size range, with a Bluetooth battery pack model MW37V22-N
• Model MWWS07 – same color and size range, with a Bluetooth battery pack model MW37V22-N

Each recalled sock has two lithium-ion battery packs and a charging cable, with the Fieldsheer logo printed in orange on the front. The socks were sold nationwide and online between August 2021 and June 2025, so a pair bought outside that window is unlikely to be part of this recall.

Why Were the Fieldsheer Heated Socks Recalled?

Fieldsheer Heated Socks were recalled because they can cause pain and discomfort resulting in burns and blisters. The CPSC’s hazard finding ties this to high-intensity activities that combine heat, friction, moisture and pressure. The socks are heated by two lithium-ion battery packs. Under sustained physical exertion, the heat they generate combines with moisture, friction and pressure, creating the conditions the agency identified as an injury hazard. No fire, electrical short or circuitry defect is described in the recall notice. The hazard is thermal and mechanical, tied to how the socks are worn rather than a manufacturing malfunction. Fieldsheer Apparel Technologies recalled the socks in cooperation with the CPSC and Health Canada, the two agencies that issued the joint recall notice covering the U.S. and Canadian markets.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

The firm has received 11 reports in the United States of Fieldsheer heated socks causing pain and discomfort, four of which resulted in burns or blisters. The CPSC notice does not give a reporting cutoff date and does not report any deaths connected to the socks. The 11 incident reports are not confirmed findings that every incident shares the same cause. Anyone burned or blistered while wearing a recalled pair can also notify the CPSC, in addition to Fieldsheer. Health Canada separately received its own set of incident reports for socks sold in Canada, details of which appear in the international-actions section below.

What Should Consumers Do?

Anyone who owns a pair of the recalled Fieldsheer heated socks should take the following steps before wearing them again:

1. Check whether your pair matches one of the recalled models, colors and sizes described above.
2. Stop wearing the recalled socks right away.
3. Contact Fieldsheer Apparel Technologies for a full refund or a replacement pair of equal value.
4. Take the lithium-ion battery packs to a household hazardous-waste collection center instead of the trash or curbside recycling.
5. Call Fieldsheer toll-free at 888-908-6024 (8 a.m. to 4 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday), email cs@fieldsheer.com, or report the incident to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov or 800-638-2772.

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

Health Canada, working jointly with the CPSC and Fieldsheer Apparel Technologies, issued its own recall notice for the Canadian market. It was published on August 7, 2025, the same notice cited above. The company reported that about 26,492 units were sold in Canada, separate from the roughly 45,000 pairs sold in the United States. As of July 29, 2025, Health Canada had logged 19 incident reports and 1 injury report in Canada, a separate tally from the U.S. reports covered above.

Legal Options

No lawsuit, class action or multidistrict litigation has been filed over the recall. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation‘s pending-MDL list names no matching case [3]. A few law firms are already reviewing individual cases at this early stage. A recall does not automatically establish liability for compensation, and whether a burn or blister injury supports a claim depends on an individual review of the facts.

Filing Deadlines

Filing deadlines for a product-liability claim are set by state law, not by this page. They vary depending on where the injured person lives and when the burn, blister or other injury and its diagnosis occurred. A missed filing deadline can end a burn or blister injury claim from this recall, no matter how strong the underlying facts are. Anyone considering a claim should check the applicable deadline with a lawyer promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Fieldsheer Heated Socks Recall Still Active?

Yes, the Fieldsheer heated socks recall remains open. As of late September 2026, neither the CPSC nor Health Canada had posted a closure notice or changed the recall’s status. The recall still appears listed, unresolved, on the Justia recalls mirror.

Where Are Fieldsheer Heated Socks Manufactured?

Fieldsheer heated socks are manufactured in Bangladesh. Tech Gear 5.7 Inc., doing business as Fieldsheer Apparel Technologies of Carlsbad, California, is the firm the CPSC names as the recalling company. Where a product is made does not by itself explain why it was recalled.

What Retailers Sold the Recalled Fieldsheer Heated Socks?

Fieldsheer heated socks were sold at Scheels All Sports, Fred Meyer, Home Depot, Meijer and other nationwide retailers, plus online at Amazon.com, from August 2021 through June 2025. Anyone who bought a pair in that window should check it against the recalled models above.

How Much Did the Recalled Fieldsheer Heated Socks Cost?

The recalled Fieldsheer heated socks cost between $80 and $130, according to the CPSC notice’s sale information. Price alone does not indicate whether a specific pair is part of the recall. Check the model number on the battery pack label instead.

Can I Recycle the Recalled Sock Battery Packs at a Retail Drop-Off Box?

No, the CPSC notice excludes retail and home-improvement battery drop-off boxes from acceptable disposal for these battery packs, along with the trash and curbside recycling. Take them only to your area’s household hazardous-waste site, and call ahead to confirm it accepts lithium-ion batteries.

Were Any Deaths Reported in the Fieldsheer Heated Socks Recall?

No, neither the CPSC’s nor Health Canada’s recall notice reports a death linked to the Fieldsheer heated socks. Both notices describe only pain, discomfort, burns and blisters among the incidents received so far, with no fatality reported in either country.
