Fieldsheer Heated Socks Recalled Due to Burn and Injury Hazard: 45,000 Pairs Affected
If you or a loved one suffered burns or blisters after using Fieldsheer heated socks, contact the Law Offices of Jason Turchin at (800) 337-7755 for a free consultation. You may be entitled to compensation.
Fieldsheer Heated Socks Recalled After Reports of Burns and Blisters
On August 7, 2025, Tech Gear 5.7 Inc., doing business as Fieldsheer Apparel Technologies, issued a recall of approximately 45,000 heated socks after users reported burns, blisters, and pain. These high-tech garments, intended to provide warmth in cold conditions, may become dangerous when worn during high-intensity activities, posing a serious injury hazard.
Consumers have reported at least 11 painful reactions, including 4 cases of burns and blistering. The injuries appear to result from a combination of heat, friction, moisture, and pressure—a dangerous mix for any wearable device powered by lithium-ion batteries.
Which Fieldsheer Heated Socks Were Recalled?
The recall covers three models of Fieldsheer’s merino wool heated socks, sold through online and in-store retailers between August 2021 and June 2025.
Affected Models:
- MWMS05 – Merino, black/gray
- MWWS07 – Premium 2.0 Merino, gray/pink
- MWMS07 – Premium 2.0 Merino, gray/orange and black/orange
Key Features to Identify Recalled Socks:
- Fieldsheer logo in orange on the front of each sock
- A battery pocket with a slit, black zipper, or gray zipper
- Battery Packs:
- MWMS05 includes battery model MW37V122 and a 4-button remote
- MWMS07 and MWWS07 include Bluetooth battery model MW37V22-N
- Sizes Small through Extra-Large
These socks were packaged with two lithium-ion batteries and a charging cable.
Where Were These Socks Sold?
Recalled products were sold at several major retailers, including:
- Scheels All Sports
- Fred Meyer
- Home Depot
- Meijer
- Bomgaars Supply
- Buchheits
- Running Supply
- Fleet Farm
- Amazon.com
The socks retailed for $80 to $130.
What Are the Hazards?
According to the recall notice, the heated socks can cause burn injuries when worn during intense physical activity. The combination of:
- Excessive friction
- Heat from the battery pack
- Moisture from sweat
- Extended pressure
…can lead to overheating, discomfort, and burns to the feet or ankles. This is especially dangerous during hiking, skiing, or work environments where mobility is essential and removing the socks quickly is not always possible.
What Should Consumers Do Now?
If you own one of the recalled pairs of Fieldsheer heated socks:
- Stop using them immediately—do not continue wearing or charging them.
- Do not dispose of the lithium-ion batteries in household trash or recycling bins.
- Contact your local Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) center for safe disposal.
- Contact Fieldsheer for a free refund or product replacement of equal value.
Understanding Product Liability and Consumer Rights
If you were injured by a defective pair of heated socks, you may be eligible to file a product liability claim. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers have a legal responsibility to ensure their products are safe for regular use. When they fail in that duty, they can be held accountable for:
- Defective product design
- Improper warnings or instructions
- Dangerous battery components or unsafe heating mechanisms
In this case, Fieldsheer’s design appears to have failed to account for real-world use scenarios—particularly during physical activities where heat, sweat, and friction are common.
What Compensation Could You Receive?
If you’ve experienced pain or injuries due to Fieldsheer heated socks, you could be entitled to damages for:
- Medical bills, including ER visits, burn treatment, and follow-ups
- Pain and suffering, including physical pain, emotional distress, or sleep disruption
- Lost wages, if you missed work due to the injury
- Long-term scarring or nerve damage
- Replacement cost for the product or damaged gear
Burn injuries—even if classified as mild—can lead to long-term discomfort, mobility issues, or secondary infections. Your health and safety should never be compromised by a product that was meant to offer comfort.

FAQs About the Fieldsheer Heated Sock Recall
Are the batteries the main problem?
Not necessarily. The injuries may result from a combination of heat, friction, and pressure—often during high-intensity activities. However, lithium-ion batteries can pose additional risks if improperly handled or disposed of.
Can I throw the battery away in the trash?
No. Lithium-ion batteries must generally be disposed of at approved hazardous waste centers. Contact your local waste authority for safe disposal instructions.
Is there a deadline to request a refund or replacement?
While no specific deadline is noted, it’s best to act quickly to ensure you receive the full benefit of the recall.
Do I need a receipt to file a claim or request a refund?
Generally, no proof of purchase is required. Fieldsheer is offering refunds or replacements directly to consumers.
Can I still sue if I already got a refund?
If you were injured, receiving a refund does not prevent you from filing a legal claim for damages. Speak with an attorney to assess your rights.
