Lifepro Fitness Recalls BioRemedy Infrared Sauna Blankets Over Burn Injury Risks

What Consumers Need to Know — and What to Do If You Were Hurt

The promise of at-home wellness has never been more popular. From infrared saunas to massaging recovery tools, many consumers are investing in personal devices that promote relaxation and healing. But when those same devices malfunction, they can cause painful and sometimes permanent injuries.

That’s exactly what prompted the recent recall of Lifepro Fitness’s BioRemedy Infrared Sauna Blankets, after reports of overheating and burn injuries.

If you or a loved one suffered a burn injury while using one of these recalled sauna blankets, you may have rights to pursue a product liability claim. The Law Offices of Jason Turchin represents injury victims nationwide who have been hurt by defective consumer products — including recalled electronics, fitness equipment, and heated wellness devices.

Background on the Lifepro Fitness Recall

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of the BioRemedy Infrared Sauna Blanket, warning consumers that the product can overheat and cause burns during normal use.

According to the recall, the issue stems from defective internal heating elements or temperature regulation systems, which can allow the product to reach unsafe temperatures.

Key Recall Details:

• Product: Lifepro Fitness BioRemedy Infrared Sauna Blanket
• Hazard: Overheating and burn risk
• Manufacturer: Lifepro Fitness
• Reported Incidents: At least one confirmed burn injury, plus additional overheating reports
• Sold Online: Including through Amazon, Lifepro’s website, and third-party marketplaces
• Recall Action: Consumers should stop using the product immediately and contact the company for a replacement or refund

Infrared sauna blankets wrap around the user to simulate a full-body sauna. While marketed as relaxing and therapeutic, these devices can quickly become dangerous if the temperature regulators malfunction or insulation fails.

Why Infrared Sauna Blankets Can Be Risky

Infrared sauna blankets are designed to use far-infrared heat to penetrate the skin and raise body temperature, mimicking the effects of a traditional sauna. However, these products rely on electrical heating elements running through tightly wrapped fabric — a setup that leaves very little margin for error.

If the internal heating coils malfunction or insulation degrades, the blanket may retain excessive heat against the skin, causing severe burns. Users often don’t notice until it’s too late, especially if they’re resting or even asleep while using it.

Common Injuries Reported:

• First- and second-degree burns
• Blistering and skin damage
• Deep tissue burns
• Scarring or discoloration
• Nerve pain or sensitivity

In some cases, the damage extends beyond the skin — prolonged exposure to excessive infrared heat can cause dehydration, heat exhaustion, and electrical burns if the wiring is faulty.

Example: How a Normal Session Can Turn Dangerous

Imagine purchasing an at-home infrared sauna blanket marketed as “safe, comfortable, and relaxing.” You set it to a moderate temperature, zip yourself in, and begin your session. Within 20 minutes, the fabric feels unusually hot — but you assume it’s part of the experience. When you finish, you notice reddened skin that quickly develops into blisters.

Later, you learn the blanket you used is part of a CPSC recall because of reports that it overheats and causes burns.

This type of incident is exactly what product liability law is designed to address. Manufacturers should ensure their products are safe for consumer use and include adequate warnings and temperature controls. When they fail to do so, injured consumers can take legal action.

Your Legal Options After a Sauna Blanket Burn Injury

If you were burned by a Lifepro BioRemedy Infrared Sauna Blanket, you may be eligible to file a product liability claim against the manufacturer, retailer, or distributor. These claims aim to recover compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other related losses.

Common Legal Theories in These Cases:

• Design Defect: The sauna blanket’s design made it inherently unsafe.
• Manufacturing Defect: A flaw during production caused the blanket to overheat.
• Failure to Warn: The company did not provide adequate safety warnings or instructions.

An experienced product liability lawyer can investigate your specific case, gather evidence, and identify all responsible parties.

What Compensation Could Include

Victims of defective product injuries may be entitled to several forms of compensation, including:

• Medical bills for emergency care, doctor visits, and burn treatment
• Rehabilitation and therapy costs for recovery
• Lost wages if you missed work due to your injuries
• Pain and suffering for physical and emotional distress
• Permanent scarring or disfigurement damages
• Replacement costs for the defective product and related property damage

In some cases, punitive damages may also be pursued if evidence shows the manufacturer ignored known safety issues.

Steps to Take if You Were Hurt by a Sauna Blanket

If you or someone in your family was injured while using a Lifepro sauna blanket, consider these immediate steps to protect your health and your legal rights:

1. Stop using the product right away.
2. Seek medical attention, even for minor burns — internal injuries can worsen over time.
3. Document your injuries with photos and medical records.
4. Preserve the product (do not throw it away or return it).
5. Keep the box, receipt, or online purchase history for verification.
6. Contact a product liability lawyer to discuss your legal options before reaching out to the company.

An attorney can guide you through the process of preserving evidence, filing a claim, and negotiating with the manufacturer or their insurance company.

You can verify your product by checking the model number and serial information against the recall notice on the CPSC website or Lifepro Fitness’s recall page.

2. What caused the recall?

Reports indicated the blankets could overheat and cause burn injuries due to temperature control defects.

Each state has a statute of limitations. In Florida, most product liability claims must be filed within two years of the injury.
