Tajarly heated insoles are rechargeable and remote-control-operated, with an internal lithium-ion battery. CPSC issued Product Safety Warning 25-457 on September 4, 2025. It cited a battery fire and burn hazard, explained in Why Were Tajarly Heated Insoles Recalled? below.
CPSC has logged four fire and thermal-incident reports linked to the insoles. Two of those reports led to extended hospital stays. Anyone who owns a pair should stop using them immediately and dispose of them as household hazardous waste.
The China-based manufacturer still has not agreed to a company-led recall. This ongoing CPSC Warning carries no refund or replacement program for anyone who bought a pair.

Latest Tajarly Heated Insoles Recall Updates
February 16, 2026: Individual Lawsuit Filed Against Tajarly
An Idaho resident, Andrew C. Scovell, sued Tajarly and other defendants in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho. He filed case 1:26-cv-00085 on February 16, 2026 [1].
The docket lists it as Nature of Suit 365, personal-injury product liability, filed under diversity jurisdiction. It proceeds individually, not as a class action, before Judge Amanda K. Brailsford, and the record does not describe how the alleged injury happened.
September 4, 2025: CPSC Issues Product Safety Warning 25-457
CPSC issued Product Safety Warning Number 25-457 for Tajarly heated insoles on September 4, 2025. The notice ties the hazard to the insoles’ internal battery, covered in more detail further down the page.
The warning cites four reports of fires and thermal incidents, including two that required extended hospital stays. It urges owners to stop use and dispose of the insoles as hazardous waste.
Which Tajarly Heated Insoles Are Affected?
Tajarly heated insoles were sold on Amazon.com between July 2022 and July 2024, for $33 to $320. The warning covers those Tajarly insoles identified by:
- Black insoles with an internal lithium-ion battery, operated by a small handheld remote control.
- The “Tajarly” brand name printed directly on the sole of each insole.
- The “Tajarly” name printed on the original Amazon order confirmation or purchase receipt.
CPSC’s notice lists no separate model, lot, or serial numbers for the insoles. The sole marking, the receipt, and the July 2022 through July 2024 purchase window confirm a pair is covered. No other identifier applies to this warning.
Why Were Tajarly Heated Insoles Recalled?
CPSC chose a public warning over a formal recall of Tajarly heated insoles. Their battery can fail and start a fire without warning. That risk exists even when the insoles are switched off.
CPSC identified the manufacturer as Shenzhen Tejiali Technology Co. of China. The company has not responded to requests for a recall or basic product information. So CPSC posted a public warning on its own instead.
The battery failure sits inside the insole, not in how it is used. CPSC’s warning applies whether or not a pair has already shown a problem. That is why CPSC calls the hazard a serious burn injury and fire risk.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
CPSC says it received four reports of ignition, fires, or other thermal incidents involving Tajarly heated insoles. The reports describe burn injuries, including two incidents that required extended hospital stays.
The warning does not give a reporting cutoff date, a breakdown of where the four reports came from, or a death count. These four reports are what CPSC had received as of the warning’s September 4, 2025 posting date.
A safety warning or an incident report is not proof that every pair of Tajarly heated insoles is defective. It does not prove a specific injury, and reports like these show only a hazard pattern.
What Should Consumers Do?
Anyone who owns Tajarly heated insoles should follow CPSC’s instructions in this order:
- Stop using the insoles immediately, even if they have not shown a problem.
- Do not throw the insoles or the battery in household trash, curbside recycling, or a retail battery-recycling box.
- Call a municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center first. Confirm it accepts lithium-ion batteries or devices before dropping them off.
- If the local HHW center does not accept them, contact the municipality for further disposal guidance.
- Report a fire, burn, or thermal incident to CPSC. Use SaferProducts.gov or call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 (TTY 800-638-8270).
Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions
Tajarly is not the only heated-insole brand CPSC has warned about. Lithium-ion batteries have driven other CPSC safety actions too [2].
Since the Tajarly warning, CPSC has posted at least four more Product Safety Warnings. Those warnings cover other heated-insole brands sold online. Each cites the same battery hazard.
None of these separate warnings involve Tajarly-branded insoles. No manufacturer named in any of them has agreed to a recall. See the heated insole recalls overview for the full list.
Legal Options
At least one product-liability lawsuit is pending over a Tajarly insole, described above. No other case against this brand has surfaced. That is based on a search of federal court records.
The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation‘s pending-case list shows no consolidated docket for heated insoles [3], so the case is proceeding on its own.
A CPSC warning does not automatically establish that the manufacturer is liable or that a reader qualifies for a claim. Anyone burned, or whose property was damaged, by a Tajarly insole may want an individual legal review.
Filing Deadlines
Every state sets its own deadline for a product-liability claim. That deadline depends on where the person lives and when the fire, burn, or property damage happened.
Some states start the clock on the date of the incident. Others use the date the harm was discovered instead. Missing the deadline can end a claim even when the underlying facts are strong.
Anyone who was hurt by a Tajarly heated insole and is weighing a claim should preserve records. That person should also talk to a lawyer promptly. The deadline keeps running no matter what CPSC does next.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Was the Tajarly Lawsuit Filed in Federal Court?
The Tajarly lawsuit was filed in federal court under diversity jurisdiction, court records show. That means the plaintiff and the defendants are considered residents of different states. That choice is only about which court hears the case, and it says nothing about which side is right.
What Evidence Should I Keep for a Tajarly Heated Insoles Recall Lawsuit Claim?
If you are considering a Tajarly heated insoles recall lawsuit claim, keep the insoles, the battery, and any packaging exactly as they are. Also save your receipt or order confirmation, photos of the burn and the damaged insole, and your medical records. These details support an individual legal review.
Is the Lithium-Ion Battery Hazard Unique to Tajarly Heated Insoles?
No, the lithium-ion battery hazard is not unique to Tajarly heated insoles. CPSC has documented lithium-ion battery and charger problems in cell phones, laptops, other personal electronics, and electric scooters. It has also issued the heated-insole warnings described above.
Are Other Heated Insole Brands Under a Similar CPSC Warning?
Yes, other heated insole brands are under similar CPSC warnings. CPSC has also posted warnings for COOWALK/COOWALI, Meisinuo, METASONO/MEATSONO, and ZroeZroe heated insoles. Each cites the same lithium-ion battery hazard described above.
Does CPSC’s Warning Cover All Tajarly Products or Just the Heated Insoles?
CPSC’s Product Safety Warning 25-457 covers only the Tajarly heated insoles. The brand also sells heated jackets, vests, gloves, and socks. The warning described above does not name any of those other products.
How Many Tajarly Heated Insoles Were Affected by the Warning?
CPSC’s warning for Tajarly heated insoles does not publish a units-affected number. That is different from some of the other heated-insole warnings above. CPSC gave specific counts there. It listed about 1,372 units for Meisinuo and about 6,000 units for COOWALK/COOWALI.
