Gerbings, LLC of Stoneville, NC has recalled about 9900 of its 12-volt heated jacket liners manufactured in China.
According to the company, the recalled jacket liners contain a defective wire connector that can cause the jacket liner to overheat, thereby posing a burn hazard to consumers. Gerbings reports that it has received two reports of jacket liners overheating, causing minor burns and resulting in blisters.
The heated jacket liners were sold through Harley-Davidson dealerships, Eagle Leather and other sporting goods, retail stores and motorcycle shops nationwide from April 2011 through December 2012 for between $200 and $240.
