What’s the Problem?
In October 2025, the Lifepro BioRemedy Infrared Sauna Blanket was recalled after reports of overheating, including 65 consumer incidents and 32 reported burn injuries.
Though marketed for wellness purposes, the blanket’s control unit with a grey-face pad was found to overheat under normal use, posing a serious risk of burns and fire hazard.
The recall covers about 78,000 units sold between September 2022 and June 2025. Victims of these burn injuries may now have legal recourse through an infrared sauna blanket recall lawsuit.
- October 23, 2025 – Lifepro Fitness issued the recall notice through the Consumer Product Safety Commission covering model numbers LP-BRMDYL-BLK, LP-BRMDYL-GRY, LP-BRMDYR-BLK, LP-BRMDYR-GRY, LP-BRMDYR-BLU, LP-BRMDYR-PNK and LP-BRMDYR-PRPL with grey-faced controllers. [1]
- October 24, 2025 – Media reports began highlighting the recall, noting that dozens of users reported burns and overheating incidents at home. [4]
- November 2025 – Legal analysts identified this recall as a likely product-liability candidate, urging victims to preserve records and consider joining a potential lawsuit. [5]
Product & Usage Overview
The BioRemedy Infrared Sauna Blanket is marketed by Lifepro as a home wellness device that uses far-infrared (FIR) heat to promote detoxification, muscle recovery, and relaxation. It was sold online at Amazon, Walmart, QVC and Lifepro.com for $179-$199 between September 2022 and June 2025. [1]
Despite its health-oriented marketing, the blanket’s internal heating control pad with a grey faceplate misbehaved in numerous cases—overheating during typical use, causing first- to second-degree burns, and raising fire and overheating concerns.
Importantly, the recall indicates the defect is not a misuse issue but a product malfunction. See the user manual where temperature ranges up to 176 °F are listed, but the control did not reliably limit heat. [6]
Injuries & Side Effects
The types of harm reported and compensated in an infrared sauna blanket recall lawsuit include:
– Thermal burns to skin, including first- and second-degree injuries reported by 32 users. [5]
– Scarring, blistering, and pain caused by overheating during use and slow removal due to enclosed blanket design.
– Fire or smoke hazard resulting from overheating electronics in contact with body or bedding.
– Emotional distress and medical costs stemming from injuries incurred during what was marketed as a wellness device.
Because the recall directly tied the product failure to the risk of serious injury, victims are well positioned to pursue claims for compensation if harm occurred.
Do You Qualify for a Lawsuit?
You may have a claim if you:
– Purchased the Lifepro BioRemedy Infrared Sauna Blanket (model numbers as listed in recall) between September 2022 and June 2025.
– Suffered a burn injury, overheating event, or required medical treatment due to the blanket’s malfunction.
– Retained the product, control pad, or photos of the incident, and have proof of purchase or order confirmation.
– Are willing to consult with an attorney to evaluate your rights and consider filing an infrared sauna blanket recall lawsuit.
Evidence You Should Gather
To support your claim, you should collect:
– Proof of purchase (invoice, order confirmation, Amazon/Walmart receipt).
– The recalled model number (LP-BRMDYL-BLK, LP-BRMDYL-GRY, etc.) and photos of the grey-faced controller.
– Medical records documenting the burn injury or treatment following your use of the blanket.
– The blanket itself or a photograph of it, showing damage, overheating signs or malfunction.
– Any communications with the manufacturer, product manual warnings or recall notices.
Preserving the product, controller and power cord may be critical in a product-liability claim.
Damages You Can Recover
In an infrared sauna blanket recall lawsuit, potential compensation may include:
– Medical expenses for treating burn injuries, skin grafts, scar revision, or hospitalization.
– Lost wages or lost earning capacity if injuries impacted your ability to work.
– Pain and suffering, emotional distress and loss of quality of life caused by the device failure.
– Cost of replacement device or remedial steps required after the recall.
– Punitive damages in jurisdictions that permit them where manufacturer negligence or conscious risk was evident.
Legal Grounds & Liability Theories
Victims may assert claims under several legal theories:
– Manufacturing defect: The blanket’s control pad allowed excessive heat beyond safe limits, rendering it unreasonably dangerous.
– Design defect: The blanket was intended for home use but lacked adequate safety controls to prevent overheating given real-world use conditions.
– Failure to warn: Warnings or instructions may not have clearly communicated the risk of burns or overheating, or users may not have been informed of the product’s potential hazard.
– Breach of warranty: Manufacturer’s warranties or marketing claims conceptually promised safe home use, yet the product failed.
The recall itself supports the argument that the defect was recognized by the manufacturer and regulator, strengthening potential lawsuits.
Statute of Limitations & Timing
Claims for defective consumer products like sauna blankets are subject to state limitations—commonly two to four years from the date of injury or discovery of harm. Because overheating injuries often occur shortly after sale, it is advisable to act quickly to preserve your rights in any infrared sauna blanket recall lawsuit.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I still file a claim if I didn’t get burned but the blanket overheated? Yes, you may still qualify if the product malfunctioned and presented a safety risk, though measurable injury strengthens your case.
- Do I need a lawyer to participate? While you can file independently, an experienced product-liability attorney can better assess defect evidence, handle technical expert testimony and negotiate for fair compensation.
- Will I receive a recall replacement and claim compensation? Yes, you should participate in the manufacturer’s replacement program, but that does not preclude pursuing additional legal compensation for your injuries or losses.
Why You Should Act Now
If you purchased a recalled infrared sauna blanket and suffered an injury or near-injury, seeking legal guidance promptly is in your best interest. Early action helps preserve evidence, strengthens your position, and puts you ahead of filing deadlines for a possible infrared sauna blanket recall lawsuit.
The recall signals that the manufacturer and regulator recognized serious risk. If you were harmed, compensation may be available—and taking action early is key.
