What Makes Heated Insoles Dangerous?

Many heated insoles are powered by lithium-ion batteries due to their efficiency and compact size. Unfortunately, lithium-ion batteries are also known for their susceptibility to failure, particularly under certain conditions. When these batteries fail, they can overheat, catch fire, or even explode, causing severe injuries to users. Over the past decade, the attorneys at Johnson//Becker have successfully handled hundreds of cases involving burn injuries.

Real-Life Consequences

At least 15 incidents of overheating or fires involving heated insoles have been reported to consumer safety agencies. Victims have suffered from first-, second-, and third-degree burns, and some have required medical treatment.

According to a recent post by Kare 11, an individual in Minnesota sustained second and third-degree burns when his iHEAT rechargeable insoles exploded inside his boots.  The report states that the individual experienced a sudden stabbing pain and intense heat on his foot, followed by smoke and fire, despite the insoles being turned off at the time.

The heated insoles are sold online and at major retailers nationwide. If you or a loved one has been injured by heated insoles, you must act quickly to protect your rights.
