The 19-page lawsuit was filed in the wake of a nationwide September 2026 recall of more than 41,500 Sauna360 Finnleo, Helo, Radiant Health, Saunatec, Tylo, Tylohelo and Amerec products. Per the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Sauna360 has received nearly 70 reports of the products “overheating, melting, charring or burning,” though no injuries have been reported. 

The case stresses that the Sauna360 overheating defectposes a significant danger, given that the products at issue can cause burns, property damage or other catastrophic injuries. According to the class action lawsuit, Sauna360’s marketing and advertising for the infrared products fail to warn that they are equipped with infrared panels that can potentially short circuit and overheat, leading consumers to believe that the products are safe for their intended use. 

“Defendant’s advertising and marketing campaign is false, deceptive, and misleading because the Products do contain, or risk containing, defective infrared panels that can short circuit, causing them to overheat, which is dangerous to one’s health, safety, and property,” the complaint alleges. “Nevertheless, Defendant does not list or mention this risk anywhere on the Products’ packaging or labeling.” 

The CPSC stated that consumers should immediately stop using the infrared and hybrid saunas at issue, which reportedly retail for between $6,000 and $13,000, and contact Sauna360 to schedule a free in-home repair from a professional installer. However, the class action suit contends that the in-home repair remedy offered through the recall is “entirely inadequate” to compensate consumers for the costs they incurred with regard to the infrared sauna products. 

Per the case, proposed class members have been “completely deprived of the use and enjoyment of their premium saunas” for an indeterminate period of time while they attempt to schedule and await completion of the “invasive” in-home modifications. 

Further, the filing argues that the Sauna360 recall remedy “shifts the burden” of the defendant’s “manufacturing failures” onto consumers. 

“Plaintiff and Class Members bargained for safe, fully operational, premium saunas, not defective fire hazards requiring post-sale physical retrofitting,” the suit states. “Consequently, Plaintiff and Class Members are left with a product worth substantially less than what Defendant advertised and sold, meaning the proposed repair fails to make consumers whole and the economic injury remains.” 

The Sauna360 recall lawsuit looks to cover all individuals in the United States who bought the company’s affected infrared saunas, hybrid infrared saunas and infrared kits.
