Wait! What? 
Not your ordinary socks, though. These are Fieldsheer brand heated socks.
A recall alert has been issued for 26,492 socks sold in Canada after injuries (blisters and burns) were reported.

Perhaps, but they've been around for ages. It's just this particular batch that's causing problems.

Wow, hard to believe socks need a warning label, but I guess it's so!

I guess they utilise some form of electricity -- batteries, maybe.

Nope, just regular socks in winter and none whatsoever in summer.

I didn't realize heated socks were a thing but they do sound like they would be so comfy during cold winter months. Hopefully those who own them heed the recall and don't wind up burned.

At first, I thought they'd be good for people whose feet are always cold due to poor circulation, but now I'm thinking they might not feel it if it started t burn.
