INMO Air3 recall instructions now tell owners to stop using the smart glasses because the left temple can overheat during extended use and create a burn hazard. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says about 1,643 units are affected in the United States, with about 120 additional units sold in Canada. The published remedy is a free repair through system update V3.16.
Direct answer: If you own INMO Air3 smart glasses, stop using them and contact INMO for the recall repair. Health Canada specifically instructs consumers to update the product to firmware version 3.16 before using the glasses again. The recall applies to model AIR3; the reviewed notices do not establish that other INMO smart-glasses models are included.
INMO Air3 recall: what owners should do
Check that the product is INMO Air3, model AIR3. CPSC says AIR3 and INMO appear on the label on the right temple.
Do not continue wearing affected Air3 glasses while waiting to complete the recall repair. CPSC and Health Canada both instruct consumers to stop use.
Use INMO’s recall process for the free repair. The company says consumers may be asked for a photo of the AIR3 product and, when available, the order number and purchase channel.
INMO’s remedy uses system version V3.16. Health Canada says version 3.16 should be installed before the product is used again.
Why are the INMO Air3 smart glasses recalled?
CPSC says the left temple can overheat during extended use and pose a burn hazard. INMO had received 10 U.S. reports of overheating, including reports describing a burning sensation to the face and the left side of the ear.
Health Canada’s current notice says that, as of September 17, 2026, no injuries had been reported in either the United States or Canada. That is the current documented injury state and can change if regulators receive additional reports.
How many Air3 units are affected?
CPSC says about 1,643 units are affected in the United States and about 120 additional units were sold in Canada. These are recalled-unit counts, not a verified count of unique owners.
The glasses were sold online through Amazon.com, Inmoxr.com and Kickstarter.com from December 2025 through August 2026 for approximately $900 to $1,300.
Is the remedy a refund, replacement or repair?
The current recall remedy is a free repair. CPSC says INMO will assist consumers in updating the system to version V3.16. The reviewed notices do not describe a general refund or replacement program as the primary remedy.
This distinction matters because V3.16 is being used as a formal safety repair for the recall, not merely as an optional feature update.
Can you keep using Air3 before installing V3.16?
No. The regulator guidance is to stop using the recalled glasses. Health Canada explicitly tells owners to update the firmware to version 3.16 before using the product again.
TPS did not find evidence in the reviewed recall notices supporting continued wear while a consumer waits to complete the repair.
How do you start the INMO repair process?
INMO’s current recall page directs affected consumers to contact the company for the free system update. The company says it may request a photo showing the AIR3 product and, if available, the order number and purchase channel.
Follow the company’s current recall instructions rather than attempting a hardware repair, opening the glasses or making an unofficial thermal modification.
How can you verify that V3.16 is installed?
The reviewed CPSC and Health Canada notices establish version 3.16 as the recall repair state, but TPS did not establish a regulator-published step-by-step procedure for independently checking the installed firmware version on the device.
Use INMO’s current repair process and confirmation instructions rather than relying on an unverified menu path or third-party procedure.
Are other INMO smart glasses recalled?
The official notices reviewed for this article identify INMO Air3 model AIR3. They do not establish that every INMO smart-glasses model is part of this recall. Do not extend the recall to another model unless current regulator or company guidance specifically includes it.
What proves the recall repair is complete?
For the current recall, the practical resolution state is that use has stopped, the owner has entered INMO’s official repair process, and the V3.16 system repair has been completed before the glasses are worn again.
The exact technical root cause of the overheating was not established in the reviewed notices, so completing the official remedy should not be described as proof of a particular hardware or battery diagnosis.
What happens next?
TPS will watch for additional CPSC or Health Canada incident and injury reports, changes to the recall scope, a firmware version superseding V3.16, hardware-replacement instructions, revised return-to-use guidance or new technical information about the overheating mechanism.
Verification note: TPS reviewed the CPSC recall notice, INMO’s current recall instructions and Health Canada’s recall notice. The AIR3 model, U.S. and Canadian unit counts, overheating hazard, 10 U.S. reports, stop-use instruction and V3.16 repair are confirmed. The detailed technical root cause and independent device-side version-check procedure remain unresolved.
