Gobi Heat Recalls Hand Warmers for Overheating Risk

On October 1, 2026, the CPSC announced a recall for thousands of Gobi Heat rechargeable hand warmers that pose a fire hazard and a risk of burn injuries.

No injuries were reported, but the internal lithium-ion battery and electrical components can overheat. The Colorado-based company behind the product, Dragon Gear Inc., is offering refunds and store credit.

What Is the Fire and Burn Risk?

Gobi Heat rechargeable hand warmers are meant to held in your hand, tucked inside a glove, or carried in a pocket. If the lithium-ion battery overheats, it is especially dangerous because it is directly against the user’s skin. No injuries were reported, but owners should check their units now.

Which Products Are Affected?

The recall covers one model of the Gobi Heat® rechargeable hand warmer:

• Model number UT3053, printed on the underside of the unit
• Black with gray, sold in 2-packs
• The hand-warmers join together with magnets
• They have a USB-C charging port, LED indicator lights, and a silicone lanyard
• “Gobi Heat” printed on the top of the hand warmers and on the packaging

Where Were They Sold?

Gobi Heat sold the hand warmers online at GobiHeat.com from October 2024 through August 2026 for $20 to $40. Gobi Heat is urging customers to contact the company for a refund or store credit. Visit the Gobi Heat recall page for information on the steps you must take to get a refund or store credit (plus 20% of the purchase price).
