Quick Alert: If you purchased a JKMAX heated blanket or heating pad from Amazon, check it before using it again. About 195,000 products have been recalled because their internal heating elements can overheat, creating fire and burn hazards.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on September 17, 2026. JKMAX has received 577 reports of blankets or pads smoking, melting, or burning, including 53 reported burn injuries.

What Products Are Recalled?

The recall covers JKMAX heated blankets and heating pads sold online through Amazon.com from September 2022 through July 2026, including products sold individually and in two-packs.

• JKMAX-002

• JKMAX-7284B

• JKMAX-6284B

The blankets and heating pads were sold in blue, gray, brown, and red, came in multiple sizes, and were made of polyester fabric. They have a detachable white controller used to adjust the heat.

Where to Find the Model Number

Check the back of the white remote control attached to the blanket or heating pad.

The model number may also appear on a white label on the original product packaging along with the JKMAX brand name.

Why Are They Being Recalled?

According to the CPSC, the internal wire heating elements can overheat.

This recall is especially important because the hazard has already resulted in a substantial number of reported incidents. JKMAX is aware of:

577 reports of smoking, melting, or burning

53 burn injuries

These are reports received by the company and cited by the CPSC. They should not be interpreted as the total number of incidents that may have occurred.

What Should You Do?

Stop using the recalled blanket or heating pad immediately.

Consumers should contact JKMAX for a full refund.

Maria Approved It Takeaway

Heated blankets are often pulled out again when temperatures begin dropping, sometimes after spending months packed away. If you own one purchased through Amazon, this is a good time to check the brand and controller before plugging it in.

If yours is a JKMAX product included in this recall, do not test it to see whether it still works and do not continue using it because it has worked safely in the past.

Unplug it, stop using it, verify the model number, and follow the recall instructions for your refund.
