That at-home spa session just got a lot less relaxing for thousands of customers. Tzumi Electronics is recalling thousands of SLF-branded sauna blankets after reports they overheated and scorched nearby furniture. Federal and company officials say the units can pose fire and burn hazards, and owners are being told to pull the plug immediately while they wait for replacements. The recall covers blankets sold at major retailers between February 2025 and February 2026.
On May 28, 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall, saying about 3,600 SLF Sauna Blankets (model 30065TAR, serial WF2236430065) are affected. According to the agency, the firm received six reports of the blankets overheating, including five cases of minor property damage to furniture, and listed the action as recall number 26-511. The blankets were sold in-store at Target, Macy’s and Snappy and online at Target.com for about $130 from February 2025 through February 2026.
What owners should do
Tzumi’s recall instructions tell consumers who own a recalled SLF blanket to stop using it right away and contact the company for a free replacement. Owners are directed to unplug the blanket, cut the power cord, write "RECALLED" on the controller and upload photos showing the serial number using Tzumi. The company can be reached at 866-363-2237 or by email at [email protected] for help confirming whether a unit is covered.
Not the first recall
Last fall the CPSC said Lifepro Fitness had recalled about 78,000 Bioremedy infrared sauna blankets after receiving 65 reports of overheating, including 32 burn injuries, underscoring the risks of portable heating wraps. That earlier action pushed retailers and regulators to flag similar devices and triggered broader consumer warnings about at-home heat therapies. While the SLF recall is smaller, safety officials say any overheating reports are enough to warrant quick action to prevent burns or potential fires.
Where they were sold
Local outlets moved fast on the latest alert. FOX 5 New York reported the recall on May 29 and noted the blankets were sold at Target, Macy’s and Snappy. The station said the notice was sourced to the CPSC and that Tzumi is cooperating with the recall and offering replacements.
Anyone who bought an SLF sauna blanket should check the serial number on the controller and follow the replacement steps on Tzumi or call the company for assistance. If your blanket overheated and caused damage, keep photos and receipts and report that when you contact the company so you can be connected to the remedy process. Consumers with safety concerns can also contact their retailer about returns or refunds.
