Over 80,000 massage guns sold by Homedics have been recalled across the United States and Canada over concerns of overheating while charging, posing burn and fire hazards to consumers.
The recall includes Homedics' Therapist Select Percussion Personal Massagers sold in stores and online at Macy’s, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Lowe’s, JCPenney, The Home Depot and Amazon among other stores nationwide between September 2020 and November 2023 for about $100, according to an advisory issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
CPSC said that the recall was issued after Homedics received 17 reports of the massagers overheating, including one report of a burn to the consumer’s thumb.
