Inmo Air3 smart glasses recalled over overheating temples

Smart glasses manufacturer Inmo has issued an official product recall for its Air3 wearable device following intervention by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Regulators flagged that the left temple of the glasses can overheat significantly during prolonged usage, creating a serious risk of injury or burn hazards for the user.

According to official safety filings, there have been 10 documented reports of users experiencing distressing burning sensations on their faces and around the left side of their ears while operating the Air3 glasses, prompting the mandatory safety recall.

The affected units include black-framed Air3 glasses sold in the United States and Canada between December 2025 and August 2026. These devices were distributed directly through Inmo's website, Amazon, and a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, retailing between $900 and $1,300. Consumers can identify the recalled hardware by checking the printed label displaying Air3 and Inmo on the right temple.

Interestingly, reviews published months prior to the official CPSC announcement had already highlighted the left temple overheating issue and the associated discomfort. The manufacturer was seemingly aware of thermal management flaws early on, having previously bundled a protective sleeve designed to shield users' heads from excessive heat emissions.
