About the Recalled Product
The recalled product is the INMO AIR3 Smart Glasses, a black-framed AI-enabled wearable featuring translation, productivity assistance, and media streaming capabilities. The glasses were manufactured by INMO International Technology Limited of China and sold through Amazon.com, Inmoxr.com, and Kickstarter.com from December 2025 through August 2026, priced between $900 and $1,300.
Latest Updates
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on September 24, 2026, classifying it as a Fast Track Recall and warning that the left temple of the INMO Air3 can overheat during extended use, posing a risk of serious injury or death from burn hazard [1]. Ten reports of overheating have been received, including accounts of burning sensations on the face and left ear area [1].
Why This Defect Is Particularly Dangerous
Smart glasses are worn directly against the skin for extended periods — the user cannot feel the device heating up the way they might notice a phone or tablet growing warm in their hand. By the time overheating produces a burning sensation, skin contact has already been sustained long enough to cause a thermal injury.
The left temple — the arm of the frame that rests along the side of the head above the ear — sits in close proximity to the ear, temple, and jawline, all areas where burn injuries can cause lasting damage to skin and underlying tissue. A burn at the temple also places the heat source within inches of the eye.
Reported Injuries
Ten overheating incidents have been reported, with affected users describing burning sensations on the face and left ear area. The CPSC’s classification of this recall as posing risk of serious injury or death indicates that the potential for more severe outcomes was considered in the agency’s hazard assessment — not just the discomfort level of the reported sensations.
A $1,300 Device That Overheats Against the Face
The INMO Air3 is positioned at the premium end of the consumer wearable market, with units sold for up to $1,300. Consumers paying that price for AI-enabled eyewear are reasonable in expecting that the device will not generate enough heat to burn the skin it rests against during ordinary use.
The overheating occurs during extended use — a scenario entirely foreseeable for a productivity and translation device designed to be worn throughout the workday. A failure mode that emerges under normal, intended use conditions is not an edge case; it is a product design deficiency that should have been identified through thermal testing before the glasses reached consumers.
Can I File a Lawsuit?
