Health Canada has issued a recall for certain INMO AIR3 Smart Glasses because the left temple may overheat during extended use.
The Story
Health Canada has issued a recall notice advising owners to stop wearing a particular lot of INMO AIR3 Smart Glasses after the agency warned the left temple of the glasses can overheat during extended use, posing a serious risk of injury, including burns.
The recall applies to INMO AIR3 Smart Glasses identified by a black appearance and a label printed on the inside of the right arm that includes “AIR3” and “INMO.” Health Canada said affected units were sold in Canada between December 2025 and August 2026.
According to the notice, the company reported sales of 120 units in Canada and 1,643 units in the United States. The glasses were sold for a reported price range of $900 to $1,300 through channels including Amazon, Kickstarter and INMO’s website.
Health Canada’s notice instructs consumers to “immediately stop using the recalled product.” The recall also directs owners who have the glasses to update the product firmware to version 3.16 before reusing the device.
The INMO AIR3 glasses combine functions commonly associated with smart eyewear, including wireless audio and an AI assistant. The glasses are designed with four built-in microphones for voice commands and calls and two open-air speakers for audio delivery, and they can stream media and use AI-powered features such as translation and productivity tools.
For affected consumers, the company listed support contact options including a telephone line at 1-800-689-8547 (Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET) and an email address at support.usa@inmoxr.com.
The recall comes as AI-enabled smart glasses have gained traction, alongside ongoing questions about privacy and how such devices may be used in public spaces. In Western Australia, for example, the government has announced a ban on smart glasses in public schools, while Canadian cities and businesses have been considering similar restrictions.
