Shoddy journalism! What happened to the poor slob who was wearing them?

Seems like a nice add-on to those slip-on sneakers they advertise, but they need a warning label: DO NOT CONFUSE HOT SOCKS WITH HOT POCKETS-DO NOT INSET IN TOASTER OR MICROWAVE AS FIRE HAZARD MAY OCCUR!

That's what I call a Hot Foot!

My feet have been cold since I turned 70 (even in the summer) and I thought battery-powered socks were the answer. I don't need flaming feet, though, and I'm looking elsewhere now. Good timing on this one, Dave.
btw: The article states: "a guest’s battery-operated heated socks shorted electrically, which caused the batteries to catch fire and move to the wall" - huh? Good thing they didn't amble into the hallway ...

I thought there was a misprint or typo involved when my wife read this post to me - I asked her, "Did you mean to say battery-operated sex?"

Correction to cause of fire:
"Battery powered cocks."
See hospital report for flaming details.
