Parties in Fitbit Tracker Fraud Class Action Reach Settlement Agreement

Plaintiffs Bettye Foster and Deborah Hunter and defendant Fitbit reached an agreement to resolve a June 2 putative fraud class action in its entirety, the parties said in a Monday joint notice of settlement (docket 3:23-cv-02753) in U.S. District Court for Northern California in San Francisco. Plaintiffs alleged Fitbit fitness trackers are “incapable” of rendering accurate blood oxygen readings for people of color but the company conceals that incapability from the buying public (see 2306030001). The parties are preparing a confidential settlement agreement, and plaintiffs anticipate filing the notice of dismissal with prejudice on or before Sept. 11. The parties request the initial case management conference scheduled for Thursday and all other hearings, dates, and deadlines be vacated pending plaintiffs’ filing of the notice of dismissal.
