Fieldsheer Heated Socks Injury Lawsuit Lawyers

Understanding the Product Defects, Injury Hazards, and How Injury Victims May Be Able to Pursue Compensation

On August 7, 2025, Fieldsheer Apparel Technologies announced a nationwide recall of approximately 45,000 pairs of its heated socks due to injury hazards. The affected models—MWMS05, MWMS07, and MWWS07—were sold in multiple color combinations and included lithium-ion battery packs. Reports indicate that the socks can cause burns and blisters during high-intensity activities due to excessive heat, friction, moisture, and pressure. This recall, issued in cooperation with U.S. and Canadian safety authorities, affects socks sold from August 2021 through June 2025 at major retailers and online for $80–$130.

Why the Defect is Dangerous

The recalled socks have been linked to at least 11 injury reports, including four cases involving burns and blisters. The hazard arises when the socks’ heating elements combine with physical activity, create conditions that can damage skin tissue. Burns and severe blisters may require medical treatment and can result in infection, scarring, or long-term sensitivity. The inclusion of lithium-ion batteries also poses a separate risk if not disposed of properly, due to their potential to ignite or explode.

Legal Rights for Consumers Harmed by Defective Products

Victims injured by the recalled Fieldsheer heated socks may have grounds to file a product liability lawsuit. Such claims can seek compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and, in severe cases, permanent disability or disfigurement. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers could be held liable when unsafe products cause harm. These lawsuits not only compensate victims but also encourage higher safety standards in manufacturing.
