Product Safety Warning Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to stop using Junsyoung heated insoles immediately because the internal lithium-ion battery can overheat and ignite while in use, posing a risk of serious burn injury and fire hazard.
CPSC is aware of four reports of ignition, fires and other thermal incidents involving the defective heated insoles resulting in burn injuries, including second- and third-degree burns requiring skin grafts.
JunShengyoung, of China, manufactured this product and has been unresponsive to CPSC requests for a recall or information about this product.
The defective heated insoles are black and red, contain a lithium-ion battery in the heel area and are operated by a remote control. The brand name “Junsyoung,” or the seller name “JAMRIC” can be found on the purchase receipt. The defective heated insoles were sold on Amazon from July 2023 through March 2024.
These products were manufactured in China.
CPSC urges consumers to dispose of the defective heated insoles immediately and follow local hazardous waste disposal procedures.
Note: Do not throw this defective lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or in used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Defective 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 defective lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact it ahead of time and ask whether it accepts defective lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance.

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.
