Fitbit announced it is voluntarily pulling the Fitbit Force from shelves and recalling units after reports that the band reacted badly with some users’ skin.

    I have had mine since Christmas and "so far, so good". No problems with my FitBit. I love it.

    I had mine for about 6 weeks before the rash started. A refund is on its way. I've not worn it for over a week and the rash is still there.

    I have created a Facebook group for user of Fitbit who have developed the rash/blisters/scaly thick skin. Search for Fitbit Rash. I'd love to hear from others and see their photos of their "skin irritation", which for the record is really burning me 9 days in.

    See you there!

    Have a co-worker who has worn his since Dec w/ no issues - I went a few weeks ago to purchase one and they are already pulled from everywhere I went - ****'sSporting Goods, Walmart, Kmart, Target and a few other places. The next day I had read on CNN & Yahoo about the "voluntary" recall. My FLEX so far no issues, but I clean it weekly.

    I don't understand why they are limiting the recall to the Force. I've seen numerous posts that people have been getting rashes with the Flex, myself included.
