What Is the INMO Air3 Smart Glasses Recall?
The recall involves INMO AIR3 Smart Glasses, wearable electronic glasses designed for features such as AI translation, digital productivity tools, and media streaming.
The recalled glasses are black. Consumers can identify them by a label inside the right temple showing the product markings “AIR3” and “INMO.”
INMO International Technology Limited of China is identified by CPSC as the importer. The glasses were manufactured in China.
Why Were INMO Air3 Smart Glasses Recalled?
The left temple of the glasses can overheat during extended use. Because the temple rests against the side of the user’s head, excessive heat can expose skin near the face and ear to a burn hazard.
CPSC describes the problem as creating a risk of serious injury or death from burns. The recall notice does not identify the specific electronic component responsible for the overheating.
The remedy is a software-based repair rather than replacement of the glasses.
How Many INMO Air3 Overheating Incidents Were Reported?
INMO received 10 U.S. reports involving AIR3 glasses overheating. CPSC says reported experiences included a burning sensation to the face and left side of the ear.
The recall notice does not state that all 10 incidents involved medically diagnosed burns. It also does not provide a separate number of consumers who required medical treatment.
Health Canada reported no Canadian incidents or injuries as of September 17, 2026.
[2]
Why Is Overheating Near the Face Concerning?
Smart glasses remain in direct contact with the temples, ears, and surrounding facial skin during use. If electronics inside the frame become excessively hot, heat can remain concentrated against a small area of skin.
Burn severity depends on temperature, duration of exposure, and tissue depth. MedlinePlus notes that burns can cause pain, redness, swelling, blistering, scarring, and deeper tissue injury.
[3]
Burns involving the face may require particular medical attention because of their location and potential complications.
What Types of Burn Injuries Can Heat Cause?
Superficial burns affect the outer layer of skin and can cause pain and redness. Partial-thickness burns extend deeper and may cause swelling and blistering.
More severe full-thickness burns can damage deeper tissues. Significant burns may require urgent medical evaluation and treatment.
[4]
Persistent pain, blistering, skin discoloration, numbness, or worsening symptoms after wearing recalled glasses should be medically evaluated.
Which INMO Smart Glasses Are Recalled?
The recall applies specifically to INMO AIR3 Smart Glasses. CPSC does not state that every INMO smart-glasses model is affected.
The recalled units are black and have “AIR3” and “INMO” printed on a label inside the right temple. Consumers should verify that product marking before determining whether their device is included.
Where Were INMO Air3 Smart Glasses Sold?
The recalled AIR3 glasses were sold online through Amazon.com, Inmoxr.com, and Kickstarter.com from December 2025 through August 2026.
Prices ranged from approximately $900 to $1,300. Consumers who no longer have the original packaging may be able to identify their purchase through online order histories.
What Is the INMO Air3 Recall Remedy?
CPSC instructs consumers to stop using recalled AIR3 glasses immediately and contact INMO for a free repair.
The company will assist owners with updating the system to version V3.16 online. Consumers should not resume using affected glasses until the prescribed update has been completed.
Consumers can contact INMO International toll-free at 888-212-9620 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time Monday through Friday.
Consumers may also email support.usa@inmoxr.com or use INMO’s recall information to obtain assistance with the software repair.
Who May Be Affected?
People who purchased INMO AIR3 Smart Glasses between December 2025 and August 2026 may have an affected device.
Users who experienced unusual heat, pain, redness, a burning sensation, blistering, or another skin injury near the left temple, face, or ear may want to document the glasses and resulting condition.
What Evidence May Matter in an INMO Air3 Smart Glasses Claim?
- The recalled INMO AIR3 Smart Glasses
- Photographs of the product label and model information
- Amazon, INMO, or Kickstarter purchase records
- Photographs of redness, blistering, or other injuries
- Medical records documenting burn treatment
- Records showing whether system version V3.16 had been installed
Software information may be particularly relevant because the recall remedy involves an operating-system update. A consumer who experienced an injury may want to document the installed version before changing the device.
Who May Be Liable for an INMO Air3 Smart Glasses Injury?
Potential liability depends on the facts and applicable state law. Manufacturers, importers, sellers, component suppliers, or other parties involved in supplying an allegedly defective wearable device may potentially be evaluated after an injury.
Possible legal theories may include defective design, manufacturing defects, inadequate warnings, negligence, breach of warranty, or other product-liability claims. A claimant generally must connect the alleged defect or overheating condition to the injury.
CPSC identifies INMO International Technology Limited as the importer. The recall itself does not establish civil liability against INMO, Amazon, Kickstarter, or another company.
Current INMO Air3 Smart Glasses Lawsuit and Recall Status
The principal documented federal safety action is the September 24, 2026 CPSC recall covering approximately 1,643 INMO AIR3 Smart Glasses in the United States.
The CPSC recall notice itself does not announce a class action, multidistrict litigation proceeding, or nationwide personal-injury settlement involving AIR3 glasses.
Individual claims may still warrant legal review when a consumer suffered a medically documented burn or another significant injury allegedly associated with an overheating recalled device.
Do I Qualify for an INMO Air3 Smart Glasses Claim?
- Did you own or use recalled INMO AIR3 Smart Glasses?
- Did the left temple become unusually hot during extended use?
- Did you experience burning, pain, redness, blistering, or another skin injury?
- Did you seek medical care or document the condition of the device and injury?
Answering yes to one or more questions does not automatically establish a lawsuit. An attorney can review the recalled glasses, overheating incident, software version, medical records, and applicable filing deadlines to determine whether further investigation may be appropriate.
Legal Process for an INMO Air3 Smart Glasses Claim
- Free case review. An attorney reviews the recalled glasses, overheating incident, injury, and available documentation.
- Investigation. Evidence may include the glasses, software version, photographs, purchase records, medical records, and CPSC recall information.
- Filing. If the evidence and applicable law support a claim, a product-liability lawsuit may be filed against one or more potentially responsible parties.
- Discovery/negotiation. The parties may exchange evidence, obtain testimony, consult engineering or medical experts, and discuss possible resolution.
- Resolution. A case may conclude through settlement, dismissal, court ruling, or trial depending on its facts and procedural history.
Compensation in an INMO Smart Glasses Burn Case
Depending on the circumstances, a claim may seek damages for medical expenses, pain and suffering, scarring, lost income, future treatment, and other losses permitted under applicable law.
Compensation amounts vary by case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
