Thermal Heated Glove Injury Lawsuit

Winter gloves are meant to keep hands warm and protected, not cause harm. Yet in early 2025, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued an urgent safety warning about Velazzio Thermo1 Battery Heated Gloves after reports that they can overheat and cause serious burns.

Sold widely on Amazon.com, these heated gloves were marketed as a safe, convenient way to stay warm during cold weather activities. Instead, some consumers have faced unexpected injuries ranging from painful burns to potential long-term scarring.

If you or a loved one was injured by a defective pair of heated gloves, you may have legal rights to pursue a thermal heated glove injury lawsuit. At The Law Offices of Jason Turchin, we represent individuals harmed by dangerous or recalled consumer products and help them seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.

Details of the Velazzio Heated Glove Recall

• Product involved: Velazzio Thermo1 Battery Heated Gloves
• Hazard: Gloves can overheat during use, posing burn injury risks.
• Where sold: Amazon.com and other online marketplaces.
• Units affected: Thousands sold nationwide between late 2023 and 2025.
• Action advised: Consumers should stop using the gloves immediately.

This recall highlights the dangers of electronic warming technology when products are not designed or manufactured with proper safeguards.

Common Injuries Linked to Heated Glove Defects

The very feature that makes heated gloves appealing — battery-powered warmth — is also what makes them dangerous when defects occur. Reported and potential injuries include:

• First- and second-degree burns on fingers, palms, and wrists
• Blistering and skin damage from overheating materials
• Scarring or skin discoloration after healing
• Nerve damage or loss of sensation in fingers
• Emotional distress and trauma from the incident

In severe cases, burns may require hospitalization, skin grafts, or long-term therapy. Even less serious burns can still leave lasting pain and financial strain.

Why Heated Gloves Can Be Dangerous

Battery-powered clothing and accessories are part of a growing trend in wearable technology. While innovative, these products may pose unique risks if they have any of these:

• High-heat output – Lithium-ion batteries can deliver more heat than intended if circuitry malfunctions.
• Defective wiring – Poorly designed electrical systems can short-circuit.
• Thin protective layers – Gloves may not have enough insulation to prevent burns.
• No automatic shut-off – Without safety cutoffs, overheating can continue until injury occurs.

These design and safety flaws often form the basis of a product liability lawsuit.

Legal Rights After a Heated Glove Injury

Consumers injured by defective heated gloves may have a product liability claim against the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer. Potential claims include:

• Design defect – If the glove’s design made overheating inevitable.
• Manufacturing defect – If errors in production caused faulty wiring or weak insulation.
• Failure to warn – If the manufacturer didn’t provide adequate safety instructions.

Possible compensation may cover:

• Medical treatment (burn care, skin grafts, therapy)
• Lost wages from missed work
• Pain and suffering
• Permanent disfigurement or scarring
• Emotional trauma

At The Law Offices of Jason Turchin, we can investigate these claims thoroughly, working to hold manufacturers accountable when unsafe products cause harm.

Why Hire an Experienced Product Liability Lawyer

Manufacturers often argue that improper use or consumer error caused an injury. Having a lawyer on your side helps ensure your story is heard. An experienced injury attorney can:

• Preserve the defective glove as critical evidence
• Work with engineering experts to determine the root cause of the defect
• Collect medical records and testimony linking the product to your injuries
• Negotiate with insurers and manufacturers for fair compensation
• File a lawsuit if necessary to protect your rights
