The JKMAX heated blanket recall covers about 195,000 heated blankets and heating pads sold online through Amazon. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says internal wire heating elements can overheat, creating fire and burn hazards. CPSC reports 577 incidents involving smoking, melting or burning, including 53 burn injuries.

Direct answer: If you have a JKMAX heated blanket or heating pad covered by this recall, stop using it immediately and contact JKMAX for a full refund. Do not keep using the product while waiting for the refund process.

Which JKMAX products are recalled?

CPSC says the recall involves all heating pads and heated blankets sold by JKMAX. The notice also provides an illustrative model list, but that list should not be treated as a safely complete exclusion test because one model number is repeated on the CPSC page.

The models listed by CPSC are JKMAX-002, JKMAX-7284B, JKMAX-6284B, JKMAX-10090B and JKMAX-8490B, with JKMAX-6284B appearing twice in the source notice. TPS is reproducing the primary-source state as written rather than inventing a missing model number.

How to identify your product

CPSC says the model number can be found on the back of the detachable white remote and on a white packaging label that also carries the JKMAX brand. The recalled products were sold in different sizes and colors.

Check the brand

Confirm that the product is a JKMAX heated blanket or heating pad.

Check the model information

Look on the back of the detachable white remote and on the white packaging label.

Stop using it

CPSC instructs consumers to stop using recalled products immediately.

Request the remedy

Contact JKMAX for a full refund using the current recall instructions.

Why the products were recalled

The safety issue is overheating of the internal wire heating elements. According to CPSC, that overheating can lead to smoking, melting or burning and can create both fire and burn hazards.

CPSC reports 577 incidents involving smoking, melting or burning. Those 577 reports are not an injury count. The regulator says the incident reports include 53 burn injuries.

Where and when the products were sold

The affected JKMAX heated blankets and heating pads were sold on Amazon.com from September 2022 through July 2026. CPSC says they were sold in one-packs and two-packs.

If you bought a JKMAX heated blanket or heating pad during that period, the safest first step is not to rely only on memory of a model number. Check the product and packaging information and follow the recall notice because CPSC describes the scope broadly as all heating pads and heated blankets sold by JKMAX.

What should owners do now?

Stop using the product immediately. CPSC’s remedy is a full refund through JKMAX. The reviewed JKMAX recall notice does not state that consumers must destroy the product or submit a destruction photo before receiving the remedy, so TPS is not importing those requirements from unrelated recalls.

Owners should use the current CPSC and JKMAX recall instructions when arranging the refund because manufacturer contact details or remedy procedures can change after publication.

What TPS verified

TPS reviewed the primary CPSC recall notice, including the stated product scope, incident count, burn-injury count, Amazon sales period, identification details and refund instruction. The main source limitation is the repeated model number in CPSC’s illustrative model list. That is why this article does not invent an additional model or narrow the recall to a five-model universe.

What could change next

CPSC or JKMAX could later clarify the model list, modify the remedy, expand the affected scope or update incident and injury totals. Those changes should be reflected on this same canonical recall page rather than creating a separate article for the same owner-verification problem.
