Fitbit has recalled approximately one million Ionic Smartwatches sold in the U.S. and 693,000 sold internationally between September 2017 and December 2021. The recall affects four specific color versions, including an Adidas special edition, all featuring a 1.4-inch color screen and a polyurethane band. The recall was issued because the watch's lithium-ion battery can overheat, and consumers are eligible for a $299 refund plus a discount on a replacement device.
The lithium-ion battery in the Ionic smartwatch can overheat, posing a severe burn hazard to the wearer. Fitbit has received 115 reports of overheating in the U.S. alone, resulting in 78 burn injuries, including reports of second-degree and third-degree burns.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Ionic smartwatches and contact Fitbit to receive pre-paid packaging to return the device. Upon receipt of the device, consumers will be issued a refund of $299. Fitbit will also provide participating consumers with a discount code for 40% off select Fitbit devices.
