CSRA News: Fitbit Recall on Smartwatches
Fitbit has recalled 1 million of its smartwatches. The company says dozens of people who used the devices to keep tabs on their movements have reported burn injuries stemming from batteries that overheated.
Fitbit says anyone who bought the $299 watch with the model number FB503 should stop using the product and contact Fitbit. The company will send owners packaging to return the device. Those who do will get a full refund and a discount of 40% off certain Fitbit products as replacements.
