The two models and their respective model numbers are Fitbit Sense: FB512 and Fitbit Versa 3: FB511.
These items were sold: 1 August 2020 to 30 September 2023.
An overheating battery could pose a risk of burns to a user.
A firmware update was rolled out to affected Fitbit Sense and Fitbit Versa 3 devices, which Fitbit considers mitigates the risk of the battery overheating in those devices.
