Health Canada is warning anyone with several models of Fitbit’s Ionic smartwatch to immediately stop using the device because its battery can overheat and may cause burns.
The agency has issued a joint recall of the product with Fitbit and consumer protection agencies in the United States and Mexico.
The affected watches include four models in various colours, each with a 3.6-centimetre colour LCD display and a four-day life for its lithium-ion battery.
FItbit, which was acquired by Google in January 2021 for $2.1 billion US, stopped manufacturing the Ionic smartwatch in 2020.
