FITBIT IONIC WATCHES ARE BURNING USERS, CAUSING A RECALL

Fitbit is a well-known wearable manufacturer and people usually turn to them for comprehensive health tracking. However, according to a report from the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the company could be in a tough spot. Many people wearing Fitbit Ionic smartwatches have reported burning them, requiring a watch recall.

FITBIT NEEDS TO RECALL ITS IONIC SMARTWATCHES
Using any smart device can cause burns. This risk only doubles when you tie this device to your arm. From time to time, smart devices https://www.rafiqsonsonline.com/product-category/omax-watches/ can experience battery problems that cause an uncontrollable chain reaction. As batteries age, they can become unstable over time.

This applies to Fitbit Ionic smartwatches. Fitbit has received a large number of complaints from users who have burned themselves on the watch. According to the report, at least 164 complaints came from users who were burned by the watch. At least 115 of these reports were received from the United States alone.

Of those who reported burns, about 40 reported burns. Two reports in the United States had third-degree burns and four had second-degree burns.

It\'s definitely not good for the company, but Fitbit has started an official recall of the Ionic watch. Those affected will receive a prepaid package to ship the watch https://www.rafiqsonsonline.com/product-category/tissot/ back to the company. In addition, affected customers will receive a 9 refund and a 40% discount on a future Fitbit device.

WHAT MODELS ARE AFFECTED?
Right now there is a short list of models that have been affected by this. There is Slate Blue/Burnt Orange (Ionic FB503CPBU), Charcoal Black/Smoke Gray (Ionic FB503GYBK), Blue Grey/Silver Gray (Ionic FB503WTGY) and Adidas Edition with Ink Blue and Ice Grey/Silver Gray (Ionic FB503WTNV). .

If you have these models, you should definitely contact Fitbit and send them back if you don\'t want to risk getting burned by the watch. This watch came out in 2017, so using a 5-year-old battery only increases the risk of getting burned.
 
No one knows if this will lead to legal action against Fitbit. Situations like this usually end up in a class action lawsuit, so don\'t be surprised if that happens. The Pixel Watch has been discussed for over a year now. But despite several leaks, the plans never came to fruition. Although the fans hope that things will change this year, we are not holding our breath. It was generally believed that the Pixel Watch would debut alongside the Pixel 6a, but those plans may change.

According to recent reports, Google is pushing back the arrival of the Pixel 6a to sometime in late July. Tipster Jon Prosser claims that the global chip shortage is forcing Google to delay the release of the phone. While it\'s unclear if this will also delay the arrival of the Pixel Watch, Prosser\'s source seems to think so.
