Fitbit has voluntarily recalled<\/a> all of its Ioniq watches, referring to the products as a \u201cburn hazard.\u201d All customers who return their Ioniq watch through the official refund portal<\/a> will receive $300 and a 40% discount on select Fitbit devices. This information app<\/a>lies to most countries, not just the United States.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been nearly five years since the Fitbit Ioniq\u2019s launch. Since then, the company has received at least 115 reports of the watch overheating (and that\u2019s just from U.S. customers). It seems that a flaw in the Ioniq\u2019s battery is responsible for this problem.<\/p>\n

While there are no known reports of Ioniq batteries catching fire, at least 78 U.S. customers have been burned by their Ioniq watch. Of those 78 customers, four experienced second-degree burns. Only two U.S. customers have experienced third-degree burns, according to Fitbit and the CPSC.<\/p>\n

This recall only applies to Fitbit\u2019s Ioniq watch. That said, this isn\u2019t the first report we\u2019ve seen of Fitbits overheating. In 2020, we noticed a report of a Fitbit Versa 2<\/a> burning and scarring a customer\u2019s wrist.<\/p>\n

If you own a Fitbit Ioniq, you should stop using it and immedia<\/a>tely contact Fitbit for that $300 refund and 40% off coupon. I suggest using the company\u2019s official refund portal<\/a>, which works in all countries eligible for the recall. Customers in the U.S. can also contact Fitbit by phone at (888)-925-1764.<\/p>\n
