Velazzio Heated Gloves Burn Injury Lawsuit Lawyers

More Than 58,000 Velazzio Heated Gloves Sold on Amazon Linked to 119 Burn Injuries and Overheating Risks

Heated clothing products are increasingly popular among outdoor enthusiasts, commuters, and workers exposed to cold environments. Unfortunately, the recent warning from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) about Velazzio Thermo1 Battery Heated Gloves highlights the dangers of defective consumer products powered by lithium-ion batteries.

On July 31, 2025, the CPSC urged consumers to immediately stop using these gloves after receiving reports of serious overheating incidents. More than 58,000 units were sold exclusively on Amazon.com, and the gloves remain in circulation nationwide. With 137 reported overheating cases and at least 119 burn injuries, the risks are significant.

For victims who suffered burns or other injuries while using Velazzio heated gloves, this situation raises important medical and legal concerns.

The Product at the Center of the Warning

The Velazzio Thermo1 Heated Gloves are black, insulated gloves designed to provide warmth using rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Each glove contains a small battery pack housed in a zippered pocket at the base, with settings that allow the user to control heat output.

The product was sold with a black carrying case and charger and marketed for both men and women. Prices ranged from $9 to $140 depending on the size and retailer promotions. The gloves were manufactured in China by Jining Liexing Outdoor Products Co., Ltd.

Between September 2019 and mid-2025, more than 58,000 units were sold in the U.S. through Amazon, making this a widespread consumer product with a large distribution footprint.

The Reported Hazard – Overheating and Burn Risks

The primary risk identified by the CPSC is overheating and hotspot formation during normal use. Unlike minor defects, overheating gloves can reach temperatures capable of causing first- or second-degree burns within minutes of contact.

Reports included:

• 137 overheating incidents.
• 119 confirmed burn injuries.
• Instances of gloves becoming unsafe within a short time of activation.

Burns from consumer electronics can cause painful injuries requiring medical treatment, including skin grafts in severe cases. Additionally, lithium-ion batteries present fire and explosion hazards if damaged or improperly handled.

CPSC’s Consumer Safety Recommendations

The CPSC’s warning directs consumers to immediately stop using Velazzio Thermo1 Heated Gloves and remove the lithium-ion battery from each glove. Batteries should not be thrown in household trash, curbside bins, or retail recycling boxes because they pose fire risks when improperly discarded.

Instead, consumers are instructed to:

• Contact their local municipal hazardous waste disposal program.
• Call their local Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) facility to confirm drop-off instructions.
• Safely transport the battery in a sealed, non-metal container if required.

By issuing this warning, the CPSC is attempting to reduce the chance of further burn injuries or fires caused by the gloves.

Manufacturer Response – Or Lack Thereof

One of the most troubling aspects of this case is the manufacturer’s failure to initiate a voluntary recall. The company, Jining Liexing Outdoor Products Co., Ltd., has not cooperated with the CPSC in providing a recall or refund plan.

This means consumers have no official way to return the gloves for reimbursement, leaving many with unsafe products and financial losses. Without accountability from the manufacturer, consumers are left with only warnings and limited disposal instructions.

The lack of a recall also increases the likelihood that unsold units remain in circulation, either through online marketplaces or resale, prolonging the risk of future injuries.

Legal Rights for Injured Consumers

When defective products cause harm, U.S. law provides pathways for injured consumers to seek compensation. Potential claims involving Velazzio Thermo1 Heated Gloves include:

• Product Liability Claims: Holding the manufacturer accountable for producing and selling a defective product that caused burns.
• Failure to Warn: The lack of sufficient instructions about overheating risks could establish liability.
• Negligence: Claims may assert the company failed to ensure product safety through proper design or testing.
• Amazon Liability Questions: Because the gloves were sold on Amazon, questions may arise about whether the platform shares liability for distributing unsafe products.

Compensation in these cases can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, permanent scarring, and in severe cases, punitive damages meant to punish wrongful conduct.

Who May Be Eligible to File a Lawsuit

Victims who may have legal claims include:

• Consumers who suffered burns while wearing the gloves.
• Families of children injured by overheated gloves.
• Individuals whose property was damaged due to battery overheating or fire.

Even if injuries were treated at home, victims may still have claims, especially if scarring or ongoing discomfort resulted. With over 119 reported injuries, many victims may not yet realize they have potential legal rights.

The Larger Issue of Lithium-Ion Battery Safety

This warning is part of a growing concern around consumer products that rely on lithium-ion batteries. From e-scooters to laptops, defective or poorly designed battery systems have caused fires, explosions, and burn injuries.

The Velazzio gloves illustrate how small, everyday consumer goods can pose unexpected dangers. The CPSC has issued multiple battery-related warnings in recent years, reflecting the need for tighter safety standards in imported electronics and wearables.

Victims harmed by these products not only face medical bills but also uncertainty about whether they can trust similar products in the future.
