24 Sep
Summary
- Smart glasses can overheat, posing a serious burn hazard.
- 10 reports of users experiencing burning sensations received.
- Recall covers over 1,600 units sold in US and Canada.
Inmo is recalling its Air3 smart glasses due to a significant safety concern. The left temple of the glasses has been reported to overheat during prolonged use, creating a serious risk of burns for users. This overheating issue has led to 10 user reports detailing a burning sensation on the face and ear.
The recall affects approximately 1,600 units sold in the United States and Canada between December 2025 and August 2026. These glasses were available through the company's website, Amazon, and a Kickstarter campaign, priced between $900 and $1,300. Consumers can identify the affected models by their black frames and specific Air3 and Inmo labeling on the right temple.
Inmo is urging consumers to cease using the Air3 glasses immediately. The company is offering a free online software update to resolve the overheating problem. This recall, conducted in cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, addresses concerns that were present even seven months ago, as indicated by older reviews and the company's prior inclusion of a protective sleeve.
