Approximately 1.5 million rechargeable hand warmers made by Ocoopa are being recalled due to fire and burn hazards. The lithium-ion batteries in the recalled products can overheat and catch fire, posing a risk of serious injury or death. The recall follows reports of 15 fires, 350 burn injuries, and one death involving an 83-year-old woman in San Diego. The hand warmers were sold online through Amazon, Ocoopa, and Walmart between September 2018 and May 2026. Consumers should stop using the recalled hand warmers immediately and contact OCOOPA Direct for a full refund.
