Ten people have reported a burning sensation on their face and the left side of their ear while wearing the glasses. The recall covers units sold in the US and Canada between December 2025 and August 2026, priced from around $900, through Inmo's own site, Amazon, and a Kickstarter campaign. Inmo makes several smart glasses models, but this recall is specific to the Air3.\n\nFace-mounted hardware sits closer to skin than a phone or laptop ever does, so a thermal design flaw here is a safety issue, not just an inconvenience. It's also a reminder that smart glasses remain an early-stage product category, often shipped in small batches through crowdfunding and direct sales, without the safety scrutiny that mass-market phone makers face.\n\nTen burn reports out of 1,600 units is roughly a one-in-160 failure rate for something worn against your face. That's not exactly a vote of confidence in whatever Inmo ships next.","[\"smart glasses\",\"recall\",\"wearables\",\"cpsc\"]","2026-09-24T16:29:31.000Z","2026-09-24T17:19:45.249Z","2026-09-24T17:19:50.655Z","published",null,[24,30,34],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Verify against the full CPSC source that the remedy really is software-only (not just a refund\u002Fhardware-swap denial you're inferring from a truncated excerpt), and state that point once instead of repeating it in the dek, body, and closing line.","resolved",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"The provided source excerpt cuts off before ever mentioning a remedy, so the claim that Inmo's fix is 'software update only, no refund, no hardware exchange' is still unverified against the full CPSC filing — confirm that detail from the actual notice (or CPSC recall page) before asserting it, rather than inferring it from a truncated article.",{"id":35,"reviewer":26,"round":36,"reason":37,"status":29},"editor-r3",3,"The source excerpt still cuts off before ever mentioning a remedy, so the claim that Inmo's fix is a free software update remains unverified — confirm that detail from the actual CPSC recall notice before asserting it.","consumer-tech",[40,41,42,43],"smart glasses","recall","wearables","cpsc",[45],{"name":46,"url":47},"The Verge","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theverge.com\u002Ftech\u002F1000085\u002Finmo-air3-smart-glasses-recall-cpsc-free-software-update",0,{"sections":50},[51,56,61,66,71,76,81,85,90,95,100,105,110,115],{"name":52,"slug":53,"count":54,"latest_published_at":55},"AI","ai",4432,"2026-09-24T16:32:42.000Z",{"name":57,"slug":58,"count":59,"latest_published_at":60},"Security","security",725,"2026-09-24T14:26:32.000Z",{"name":62,"slug":63,"count":64,"latest_published_at":65},"Policy","policy",384,"2026-09-24T15:44:28.000Z",{"name":67,"slug":68,"count":69,"latest_published_at":70},"Deals","deals",232,"2026-09-24T14:00:29.000Z",{"name":72,"slug":73,"count":74,"latest_published_at":75},"Hardware","hardware",178,"2026-09-24T15:24:48.000Z",{"name":77,"slug":78,"count":79,"latest_published_at":80},"Science","science",138,"2026-09-24T18:24:52.000Z",{"name":82,"slug":38,"count":83,"latest_published_at":84},"Consumer Tech",125,"2026-09-24T17:00:00.000Z",{"name":86,"slug":87,"count":88,"latest_published_at":89},"Software","software",87,"2026-09-24T17:02:02.000Z",{"name":91,"slug":92,"count":93,"latest_published_at":94},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",79,"2026-09-22T22:21:13.000Z",{"name":96,"slug":97,"count":98,"latest_published_at":99},"Startups","startups",67,"2026-09-24T14:31:00.000Z",{"name":101,"slug":102,"count":103,"latest_published_at":104},"Gaming","gaming",45,"2026-09-22T15:35:06.000Z",{"name":106,"slug":107,"count":108,"latest_published_at":109},"General","general",43,"2026-09-21T23:48:56.000Z",{"name":111,"slug":112,"count":113,"latest_published_at":114},"Reviews","reviews",29,"2026-09-24T13:00:00.000Z",{"name":116,"slug":117,"count":118,"latest_published_at":119},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
