Inmo has issued a recall for its Air3 smart glasses due to a safety concern. The left temple of the device has been found to overheat during prolonged use, creating a risk of burns to the user. This recall affects over 1,600 units distributed in the United States and Canada.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has received 10 reports from users experiencing a "burning sensation to the face and the left side of the ear" while wearing the Air3 glasses. This overheating poses a serious injury risk due to potential burns.
The recalled Air3 glasses were sold between December 2025 and August 2026 through Inmo's website, Amazon, and a Kickstarter campaign, priced between $900 and $1,300. The glasses are identifiable by their black frames and a label on the right temple displaying "Air3" and "Inmo".
Inmo advises all Air3 owners to immediately stop using the smart glasses. The company is providing a free online software update to resolve the overheating issue. Users can contact Inmo's support team via phone or email for assistance with the update.
Reviews of the Air3 glasses from as far back as seven months ago indicated the overheating problem. Inmo was aware of the issue, as evidenced by their inclusion of a protective sleeve with the glasses, intended to shield users from excessive heat.
