Recall Details
This recall involves Fieldsheer Apparel Technologies’ heated socks, models MWMS07, MWWS07 and MWMS05. The recalled merino wool socks were sold in black/gray, gray/orange, gray/pink and black/orange color combinations, and in sizes small through extra-large. The socks came with two lithium-ion battery packs and a charging cable. The socks have a battery pocket with either a slit or a black or gray zipper. Model MWMS05 includes a battery pack with model number MW37V122 and a four-button remote control to adjust the heat settings. Models MWMS07 and MWWS07 include Bluetooth battery packs with model number MW37V22-N. The model number can be found printed on the top left corner of the label on the back of the battery pack. The Fieldsheer logo appears in orange on the front of each sock.
Note: Do not throw the lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact that office ahead of time and ask whether it accepts lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance.
Consumers should immediately stop using the heated socks and contact Fieldsheer Apparel Technologies for a full refund or replacement product of equal value. Consumers should dispose of the lithium-ion battery packs in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
The firm has received 11 reports of socks causing pain and discomfort, resulting in 4 burns and blisters.

If you are experiencing issues with a recall remedy or believe a company is being non-responsive to your remedy request, please use this form and explain the situation to CPSC.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
