OCOOPA hand-warmer recall
If You Have a Recalled OCOOPA Hand Warmer
30-second answer
Stop using the recalled warmer now. Do not charge, test, or handle an unstable device. Move away and call 911 for fire, dangerous smoke, a severe burn, trouble breathing, or another emergency. Follow OCOOPA’s recall process before disposal. Save evidence only when safe.

Do this now
- 1Stop using the warmer. Never charge, test, open, move, or handle it if it is hot, swollen, leaking, smoking, burning, or unstable.
- 2Call 911 for fire, smoke, severe burns, trouble breathing, or other emergency symptoms. Get medical care before taking photos.
- 3Check the model and three-digit batch number only if the unit and area are safe. The numbers are on the underside.
- 4Start the recall request through OCOOPA. CPSC says you may be asked to write “RECALLED” on the unit and send a photo of the marking, model, and batch number.
- 5Wait for OCOOPA to review the request before disposal. Ask a municipal household hazardous-waste center if it accepts defective lithium-ion batteries.
Avoid this
- Do not put the warmer in trash, curbside recycling, a retail battery box, or a home-improvement-store battery box.
- Do not touch, move, clean, smell, photograph up close, or reenact a problem with an unstable device.
- Do not delay medical care or disobey responders to preserve evidence.
Save these
- Safe-distance photos, only if officials have not declared the device or area unsafe
- Model and three-digit batch number
- The second warmer, cable, packaging, and warnings, only when safe
- Order confirmation, receipt, and original product listing
- Recall forms, emails, photos submitted, and refund terms
- Medical records and photos of injuries
- Fire, 911, insurance, cleanup, and repair records
- Receipt or record showing who took the device and when
Common questions
Which models are recalled?
CPSC recall 26-659 covers UT3053, UT3056, ZLS-118, ZLS-118S, ZLS-118D, H01, and H01(PD). OCOOPA is printed on top. The model and three-digit batch number are underneath.
Should I mark the warmer or throw it away now?
Start with OCOOPA’s recall portal. CPSC says consumers may be asked to mark the unit “RECALLED” and submit a photo. OCOOPA says not to dispose of it until the request is reviewed and further instructions arrive.
What if the warmer already caused a burn or fire?
Get medical or emergency help first. Save records and take photos only from a safe distance. If officials remove the device, ask for an incident number, receipt, or written record.
Does the recall prove someone is legally responsible?
No. A recall may matter, but it does not automatically prove a defect, the cause of an injury, negligence, or legal liability. Those questions depend on the specific facts and evidence.
