FITBIT RECALL

Fitbit is recalling their bracelets... They are causing irritation.

They're saying that users can develop allergic reactions to the stainless steel casing, materials used in the strap, or adhesives used to assemble the product, resulting in redness, rashes or blistering where the skin has been in contact with the wristband.

Here's a link for info on the recall and what to do about it. I get this by email, and it has been a wonderful newsletter that includes recalls in your area, as well as disease/sickness and food warnings.

Note that this is specifically a recall for the Fitbit Force bracelets, not the Flex.

It is one product that was recalled because some people are allergic to the nickel used.

I have the One, and couldn't be happier with it. No recall, no allergic reactions.

A simple search shows numerous threads on this very topic.

Must be the fructose that it emits.:laugh:

As mentioned this is on the Force and not the Flex. So if you have a Flex, you're fine.
