Despite all our efforts, a small number of people may experience a reaction to certain materials. This reaction is typically due to eczema, allergies, or other skin sensitivities, which can become worse when irritants like sweat or soap get trapped beneath the band and irritate the skin. This recall is not related to skin irritation. If you have a Fitbit device and are experiencing skin irritation, review our Wear & Care instructions. Should your skin irritation not resolve, contact us.
