Another smartwatch recalled in Canada over fears of causing burns, fires

Another smartwatch has been recalled in Canada over fears the timepiece may cause burns to users and pose a fire risk, according to Health Canada.

Canada's health agency issued a recall Thursday for Decathlon's Kiprun GPS 550 smartwatch and is asking those who have purchased the product to "immediately stop using" the timepiece.

Health Canada said the battery used in the wristwatch "may overheat during charging or while in use and may cause burns or present a fire risk."

As of Monday, there have been no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada as a result of the defected product.

According to the manufacturer, 124 units of the affected product were sold in Canada, with sale dates ranging from July 2020 to February 2022.
