2k Innovations Recalls Volt Heated Slippers for Unapproved Medical Claims

2k Innovations is recalling Volt Resistance Heated Slippers because FDA inspections found the company made unapproved therapy and medical claims on product information and its website.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text explicitly states the issue is unapproved claims rather than a physical defect or contamination, and no injuries are reported. This aligns with the 'Moderate' criteria for labeling errors and voluntary precautionary recalls.

Plain-English summary

2k Innovations Inc. is voluntarily recalling 22,757 units of Volt Resistance Heated Slipper Gray (Item #VS-GR) in all sizes. The product is described as a deep penetrating heat garment and wrap. The recall was initiated after an FDA inspection determined that the firm claimed unapproved therapy and medical benefits on product information and its website.

The recalled slippers were distributed nationwide. The hazard associated with this recall is regulatory, involving the promotion of unapproved medical claims rather than a physical defect or contamination in the product itself. No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall.

Consumers who purchased these slippers should stop using them for the unapproved medical purposes claimed by the manufacturer. They should contact 2k Innovations Inc. for further instructions on how to return the product or obtain a refund.
