A man from Trimont, Minnesota, was severely injured when his rechargeable heated insoles exploded inside his boot.
Mikaela Morris shared images online Friday of her husband Tyler’s injured foot and is urging people not to buy rechargeable heated apparel products, KENS 5 reported on Monday.
Mikaela said the insoles were not turned on when the incident happened and she rushed him to an emergency room for medical attention. Doctors later contacted the burn center at Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) regarding the case.
Tyler bought the insoles from Amazon in 2023 for outside activities. The insoles were sold by a China-based company known as iHeat. However, the KENS article noted the product is no longer available on the site.
When Breitbart News searched Tuesday for “heated apparel” on Amazon, we found numerous items such as heated jackets, vests, and scarves.

He kicked off his boot and the insole was in pieces. Tyler noted a doctor told him he was the third victim of the same problem she had seen in one week.

“The insoles were sold by a China-based company…”
I think I’ve spotted the problem.
I’m reminded of it just about every day when the heads of simple drywall screws pop off before the material is screwed down tight... I can only imagine how cheap toys are these days. (I haven’t bought toys for kids for 15 years...)

I agree but I’m not sure what can be done in
today’s society. This world wide situation is
what the future holds, imo. Have a good’em.
And don’t even think about the heated underwear!..................
No cotton - it gets wet & never dries, causing heat loss. All those other layers are good as long as there is adequate room in the boot so the feet are not compressed where circulation is compromised.
Oh yeah, I want the battery heated scarf. Yikes!
Some people need to have their feet held to the fire over this.
China is trying to de-feet us...
The insoles were sold by a China-based company known as iHeat. However, the KENS article noted the product is no longer available on the site.

Oh yes they are - just a different company name, same product.
I am worried now. Ordered a heated vest for my wife.
Maybe a take off on Israeli pagers?
Where did you get it?😎
Or ski goggles!
Years ago a kid pulled out in front of me. Didn’t look both ways at the stop sign. I was on a 40 mph road going 45. This was just before seat belt became mandatory and of course my younger self wasn’t wearing one. I got out of the car and started walking. Witnesses at a house on the corner came and brought me over to their yard to wait for the cops/ambulance. I suppose I should have stayed in the vehicle and my neck immobilized. They treated me dismissively at the hospital (I was thinking at the time it was probably because the other driver was in pretty bad shape and after all “I” had hit “him” (never mind there was no way to avoid it) but was eventually diagnosed with a cervical sprain/strain. I was young and poor so after three sessions of physical therapy when the place wanted some money I told them the person’s insurance company States they will pay when they get the final bill but that wasn’t good enough for those greedy people so I stopped therapy. Neck has never been the same. In older years now, nerve issues are part of it.
I try hard not to buy anything from China because it’s usually crap!
But, certainly, nothing electronic that’s worn close to the skin.
Yes, Virginia:
People really are THAT dumb.

Zippo hand warmer .and a can of fuel.
Electric boots? Did he have a mohair suit, too?
I was out in the cold for a while the other day with decent boots and socks on and, when I came in, my socks were slightly damp with sweat. That’s warm enough, and there was no fire hazard.
