Product Details

Brand Name: Inmo Inmo air 3
Manufacturer: Shenzhen Yingmu Technology Co., Ltd. dba INMO

Incident Report Number: 5997868
Severity Type Name: First Aid Received by Non-Medical Professional
Severity Type ID: 7

Incident Overview

On April 15, 2026, the owner of an Inmo Inmo air 3 smart glasses experienced a severe overheating incident while using the device as intended. The consumer, who relies on the glasses as an assistive device due to nerve damage affecting hearing and physical sensation, reported that the arm of the glasses—where the battery and internal electronics are housed—reached dangerously high temperatures during normal operation.

According to the incident report filed with the CPSC (Report ID 5997868), thermal imaging captured the surface of the device at 153.0°F (67.2°C). The consumer noted that this temperature far exceeds safe limits for skin contact and poses an immediate risk of severe thermal burns. The reporter also expressed concern that the extreme heat could trigger thermal runaway in the internal lithium-ion battery, potentially leading to ignition or explosion near the user's face and eyes. The manufacturer's own documentation reportedly warns that overheating "may damage the device, cause battery swelling/leakage, or even explosion." The consumer observed that the product includes an aftermarket-style foam sticker along the inner arm, which appears to be a superficial attempt to insulate users from the heat rather than a proper engineering fix.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: The surface temperature of 153.0°F can cause second- or third-degree burns within seconds of skin contact. For a wearable device that sits against the head, this creates a direct risk of facial burns, particularly near the temple and ear. If the lithium-ion battery enters thermal runaway, it can ignite or explode, causing severe facial and eye injuries.

Long-Term Risks: Repeated exposure to high temperatures, even below the burn threshold, can degrade the battery's internal structure over time, increasing the likelihood of a sudden thermal event. The foam sticker mitigation does not address the underlying electrical fault, meaning the risk persists with continued use.

Who Might Be Affected: The primary user is at greatest risk, but bystanders—especially children or pets nearby—could also be injured if the device ignites or explodes. Users with reduced sensation, such as the reporter, are particularly vulnerable because they may not feel the escalating heat until burns have already occurred.

Warning Signs: The device becoming noticeably hot to the touch, especially on the arm, is a clear warning sign. Any unusual warmth, swelling, or deformation of the glasses should be taken seriously. The manufacturer's warning about battery swelling or leakage also indicates that visible changes to the device are red flags.

What Our Clients Say

What Consumers Should Do

Stop Using Immediately: Discontinue use of the Inmo Inmo air 3 smart glasses to prevent potential burns or battery failure. Do not charge or operate the device until the safety issue is resolved.

Do Not Attempt Repairs: Do not open the device or attempt to modify the battery or electronics. Tampering with a lithium-ion battery can increase the risk of fire or explosion.

Preserve the Product: Keep the glasses, packaging, and any accessories in a safe, dry place. Do not discard or return them to the retailer until you have documented the incident and consulted with authorities or legal counsel.

Document the Incident: Take photos or videos of the device, including thermal images if available. Save receipts, purchase records, and any correspondence with the manufacturer or retailer. Note the date, time, and circumstances of the overheating event.

Seek Medical Attention: If you experience burns or other injuries from the device, seek medical evaluation immediately. Even minor burns can become infected or cause nerve damage.

Report to the CPSC: File a report on SaferProducts.gov with the CPSC to help regulators track the hazard and consider enforcement actions. Reference the existing report ID 5997868.
