Owners of INMO’s AI-powered smart glasses are being warned against wearing them because the devices pose a potential burn hazard.

INMO AIR3 Smart Glasses have been recalled across Canada and the United States this week due to a potential for overheating on the left side during prolonged use, Health Canada said in an advisory.

The recall is a joint effort between Health Canada, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, and INMO International Technology Limited.

The company had not received any reports of injury in Canada or the United States as of Sept. 17 but there were 10 overheating incidents south of the border, the advisory said.

The glasses were sold on Amazon, Kickstarter, and inmoxr.com for between US$900 and US$1,300 from December 2025 through August 2026, the company said. There were 120 units of the affected glasses sold in Canada and 1,643 were sold in the United States.

The China-manufactured product is black with “AIR3” and “INMO” printed on a label on the inside right arm of the glasses.

“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product and update the product firmware to version 3.16 before reusing the product,” the advisory said. “Please note that the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act prohibits recalled products from being redistributed, sold or even given away in Canada.”

INMO is urging owners to send a photo of the affected item along with their order number and the place of purchase to inmoxr.com.

Health Canada said consumers should report any health or safety incidents related to the use of this product by filling out a Consumer Product Incident Report Form.
