What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with DIY Sauna Heater Kits?
DIY Sauna Heater Kits (Plunge Buddy LLC, doing business as DIY Cold Plunge, of North Mankato, Minnesota) was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. Electrical conductors within the sauna heater kits can overheat, posing a fire hazard and risk of serious injury or death. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should stop using the recalled Sauna Heater Kit immediately and register at www.diycoldplunge.com/pages/recall for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to submit written and photo proof that the product has been destroyed/disposed of or request a prepaid shipping label to return the product. Sold at: Online at www.diycoldplunge.com from March 2025 through February 2026 for between $400 and $500.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
