A Texas couple is warning others about the dangers of heated insoles after their product exploded, causing second- and possibly third-degree burns to the husband's foot.
Mikaela shared images online Friday of her husband Tyler’s injured foot and is urging people not to buy rechargeable heated apparel products, KENS 5 reported on Monday. Mikaela said the insoles were not turned on when the incident happened and she rushed him to an emergency room for medical attention.

However, the KENS article noted the product is no longer available on the site.When Tyler was using the insoles on Thursday, they were not working well but he continued wearing them while getting ready to put a fish house on a lake.

He kicked off his boot and the insole was in pieces. Tyler noted a doctor told him he was the third victim of the same problem she had seen in one week. Now, Tyler may need skin grafts to repair the injury. The couple is warning others to avoid those products for their own safety.said , “That is horrible!
