Inmo, a smart glasses manufacturer, has announced a recall of its Air3 model following reports of the left temple overheating during use. According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, the company has identified a defect that poses a risk of serious injury due to thermal burns.
The recall affects more than 1,600 units of the Air3 glasses that were distributed across the US and Canada during the specified period. These devices were sold through multiple channels including the company’s official website, Amazon, and a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, with price points ranging from $900 to $1,300. The affected glasses are identifiable by their black frames and labeling on the right temple.
As of the recall announcement, the CPSC has received 10 reports from users describing burning sensations affecting the face and left ear area while wearing the device. Evidence suggests the issue has been present for an extended timeframe, with user reviews from several months prior documenting similar complaints. The company had apparently addressed the concern by including a protective sleeve with the product to shield users from the excessive heat.
Inmo has directed consumers to cease using the Air3 immediately and contact the company’s support team via phone or email. The manufacturer is offering affected users a free software update designed to resolve the overheating problem as the primary remedy for the issue.
