Inmo has recalled over 1,600 units of its Air3 smart glasses after the left temple overheated during use, causing burns to wearers' faces and ears.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall due to a defect where the left temple can overheat during extended use. The company warned the overheating poses "a risk of serious injury or death due to burn hazard." Ten users have reported experiencing a "burning sensation to the face and the left side of the ear" while wearing the Air3. The affected glasses were sold in the United States. Inmo manufactures several variations of smart glasses. Consumers who own an Air3 should stop using the device immediately and contact the company for instructions on receiving a replacement or refund. This marks a significant safety issue for the smart glasses market as manufacturers work to integrate battery-powered components into wearable devices.
