Consumers should immediately stop using and charging any affected massager and contact HoMedics for a refund or product credit. The recall remains ongoing.

January 4, 2024: CPSC and Health Canada Announce Massager Recall

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) worked with Health Canada on this recall. Together, the agencies announced a voluntary recall covering the affected HoMedics massagers[1]. Canada received about 41,000 more of the same massagers. The companies cited 17 reports of the massager overheating while charging, including one burn to a consumer’s thumb. That count comes from the notice that opened the recall.

Which HoMedics Massage Guns Are Affected?

HoMedics and its importer, FKA Distributing Co., recalled the following massagers, each marked ‘HoMedics’ on the barrel and sold under model HHP-715:

• Model HHP-715 (United States): date code ending in 20, 21, or 22, on a sticker under the barrel
• HHP-715-CA (Canada): date code ending in 21 or 22, UPC 0031262099662

The date code is a four-digit WWYY number on a sticker under the barrel. WW is the manufacturing week, and YY is the year. Only units made through 2022 fall within the recall. Every recalled unit also has four interchangeable massage heads and a black housing with a corded 120-volt power supply. These details match the recall notice’s own description of the product.

Why Were HoMedics Massage Guns Recalled?

HoMedics Therapist Select Percussion Personal Massagers were recalled because they can overheat while charging. That poses fire and burn hazards to anyone using or storing the device at home. FKA Distributing Co., doing business as HoMedics, carried out the recall voluntarily. The company worked with the CPSC and Health Canada in both countries after those overheating reports reached the agencies. HoMedics sold the massagers at major retailers, including Macy’s, BJ’s, Lowe’s, JCPenney, and Home Depot, plus online sellers such as Amazon. The sales ran from Sept 2020 through Nov 2023 in the United States, for about $100. That is the window when an affected unit could have reached a buyer’s home.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

The CPSC’s recall notice counts 17 reports in the United States of the massager overheating. The count includes a burn to one consumer’s thumb, as of the day the recall was announced. In Canada, Health Canada’s recall notice lists 4 reports of overheating and no reported injuries, current as of December 21, 2023[2]. HoMedics received these overheating reports directly from consumers, and anyone with a new one can also file it at SaferProducts.gov. These reports describe what consumers told the companies and the agencies. They are not proof that every affected massager will overheat or cause an injury.

What Should Consumers Do?

Consumers who own an affected massager should take the following steps right away, before using the device again:

1. Stop using and charging the massager right away, and unplug it until you complete the return or refund process.
2. Check the sticker under the barrel for the model number and date code. That confirms whether your massager is part of this recall.
3. In the United States, contact HoMedics at 1-800-466-3342 or at recall.homedics.com/24-076. That number and page give instructions for a full refund or a product credit[3].
4. In Canada, contact HoMedics at 1-888-225-7378 or through Homedics.ca/customer-support for the same refund or credit options.
5. Report any overheating, fire, or burn incident to HoMedics and to the CPSC through SaferProducts.gov.
6. Do not resell, donate, or give away the massager once you confirm it falls within the recall.
7. Keep a copy of your purchase receipt and any photos of the massager and its date code. You may need them for the refund or a future claim.

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

Health Canada issued its own recall notice for the same massagers, listing about 41,000 units sold across Canada. The Canadian recall lines up with the CPSC’s action and covers units with a narrower date-code range. Only units with a date code of 21 or 22 qualify in Canada. No other country’s regulator has posted a matching recall or warning for this product.

Legal Options

This recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation. No lawsuit, court docket, or federal MDL naming HoMedics or FKA Distributing Co. appears on the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation‘s pending-docket list[4]. Someone whose burn, fire, or property-damage loss from an affected massager is documented may want the facts reviewed by a lawyer. A recall alone does not confirm what caused any single incident.

Filing Deadlines

Filing deadlines for a product-related legal claim come from state law, not from this recall notice. The deadline depends on where the person lives and when the injury happened. Some states start the clock on the date of the incident. Others start it on the date a doctor connects an injury to the product. Missing the deadline can end a claim even with strong facts. Anyone considering a claim over a burn, fire, or property loss from this recall should check the deadline with a lawyer promptly.
