Fitbit announced today that it\u2019s working with the Consumer Product Safety Commission to voluntarily recall its Ionic smartwatch<\/a>. The company says it\u2019s received over 100 reports of the watch\u2019s lithium-ion battery overheating, as well as 78 reports of burn injuries to customers. <\/p>\n

\u201cCustomer safety is always Fitbit\u2019s top priority and out of an abundance of caution, we are conducting a voluntary recall of Fitbit Ionic smartwatches,\u201d Fitbit said in a statement. It went on to say that the reported cases represent less than 0.01 percent of units sold. Roughly 1 million Ionic smartwatches were sold in the US, with an additional 693,000 sold internationally. <\/p>\n

If you have an Ionic smartwatch, Fitbit recommends you stop using it immediately. The company says it\u2019ll provide prepaid packaging for returns and will issue a refund of $299. It says it\u2019ll also extend a 40 percent discount code for select Fitbit devices. You can call at 888-925-1764 or visit Fitbit\u2019s online refund center here<\/a>. <\/p>\n
