Approximately 195,000 heated blankets and pads sold on Amazon.com are being recalled after reports of burn injuries linked to the products, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The issue stems from internal heating elements that can overheat, creating fire risks and potentially causing burns. The CPSC, a federal agency that protects the public from unsafe products, announced the recall after receiving multiple complaints about the devices. The manufacturer, JKMax, reported that it is aware of 577 incidents where the blankets either smoked, melted, or caught fire due to overheating. Of these, 53 cases resulted in burn injuries. The affected products were sold online between September 2022 and July 2026 and are available in single and double packs. They come in colors such as blue, gray, brown, and red, and are made of polyester fabric, according to the CPSC. The specific models involved in the recall are JKMAX-002, JKMAX-7284B, JKMAX-6284B, JKMAX-10090B, and JKMAX-8490B. Consumers are advised to stop using the recalled blankets and pads immediately to avoid further harm. The model numbers can be found on the remote control used to adjust the heat settings and on a white label attached to the product packaging. The CPSC has urged customers who purchased these items to contact JKMax directly for a full refund. The recall is identified by the number 26-778, which can be used when reaching out to the company for assistance. This recall highlights the importance of product safety and the role of federal regulators in ensuring consumer protection. The CPSC works closely with manufacturers to address potential hazards and prevent injuries. Customers who are unsure if their product is affected are encouraged to check the model number or contact the company for clarification.
