HoMedics, a Detroit-based health and wellness company, has recalled approximately 87,000 massage guns sold in the U.S. and Canada, citing the possibility of the product overheating while charging and posing a fire and burn hazard, according to a U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announcement posted Jan. 4.
The CPSC advised customers who have the product to \"stop using and charging\" their massagers and contact HoMedics. The company said it is providing impacted customers with \"a full refund or a refund in the form of a credit toward any HoMedics product, including a 20% bonus.\"
The recalled massagers were sold nationwide from September 2020 through November 2023 for about $100. The items were sold in-store at several retailers including Macy's, BJ's Wholesale Club, Lowe's, JCPenney, The Home Depot and online at Homedics.com, Macys.com, BJs.com, Lowes.com, HomeDepot.com and Amazon.com.

Consumers have been advised to immediately stop using or charging the recalled massagers and to contact Homedics to receive a full refund or a refund in the form of a credit toward any Homedics product, including a 20% bonus.

Thankfully, it was around this time that I got my hands on the Homedics Shiatsu Air 2.0 Foot Massager With Soothing Heat ($144), which not only elevated my self-care routine, but also made it a whole lot easier to run 10+ miles on a regular basis.
It takes things up another notch with the addition of heat, which Dr. Tran says is a great way of increasing circulation to the feet. "As circulation increases, it brings healing factors to the areas that are in need of repair, which can be incredibly beneficial for people suffering from foot pain," he explains.
Not only is the tool helpful for runners ("after a long run, stretching and massaging can greatly decrease symptoms of pain and achiness," says Dr. Tran), but it's also great for anyone who spends time on their feet. "If you work on your feet, using a foot massager can help you recover at the end of the day so that you are ready for work the next day," says Dr. Tran. "Also, these massagers can be a great way to wind down and relax at the end of the day."
