Check out Costco’s newest sweet and salty sundaes
Costco’s iconic food menu is known for its savory items, but the new Sunday flavors will satisfy dessert lovers.
More than 200,000 pairs of heated socks sold at Costco have been recalled by authorities after reports of people suffering first- and second-degree burns, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said.
The CPSC’s recall notice, posted Thursday, April 23, said the “32-degree heated socks” could pose a “hazard of injury, including burns,” when users engage in high-intensity activities that combine “heat, excessive friction, moisture, and pressure.”
The 207,000 pairs of recalled socks were sold in Costco stores and online from August 2025 to March 2026 at prices ranging from $30 to $46 per pair. According to the recall notice, the socks were sold in three sizes: medium, large and extra large, and all were black in color.
“Consumers should immediately stop using heated socks and return them to Costco for a full refund,” the CPSC said.
According to the CPSC, 14 “heat-related incidents” were reported, 13 of which involved first- or second-degree burns.
What should customers do?
The CPSC is asking customers with recalled socks to immediately stop using them and return them to Costco for a full refund. Customers who purchased recalled socks online can submit a recall through Costco’s online returns portal.
