Joint Case Management Statement or Settlement Notice Due Tuesday in Fitbit Case

Parties in a Fitbit tracker fraud case must file a joint case management statement or notice of settlement by Tuesday, said a text-only notice Friday in U.S. District Court for Northern California in San Francisco. The case management conference is maintained for Thursday via Zoom until a joint case management statement or notice of settlement is filed, it said (docket 3:23-cv-02753). Fitbit and plaintiffs Bettye Foster and Deborah Hunter said Thursday they’re in “active settlement discussions" that may resolve the matter entirely and obviate the need for further proceedings (see 2308250022). The June 2 putative fraud class action alleges Fitbit fitness trackers are “incapable” of rendering accurate blood oxygen readings for people of color, yet Fitbit conceals that incapability from the buying public (see 2306030001).
