Fitbit is recalling 1.7 million smartwatches over a faulty battery that can burn the user.
The company says the battery inside the Fitbit Ionic Smartwatch can overheat and possibly cause a serious burn. 78 burn incidents have been reported in the U.S. so far, with six of them involving second or third-degree burns.
Customers should stop using their smartwatches and return them for a refund.
