Here’s what the smart ring brand is doing about it.
Two Oura users reported their rings smoking and overheating.
Smart rings are built with lithium-ion batteries.
They may overheat if damaged or improperly charged.
Smart rings have had some bad press recently. Earlier this year, a Samsung Galaxy Ring began swelling on a user’s finger as he was about to board a flight. And last week, two Oura Ring users reported their rings were overheating and smoking.
A user on the Oura Ring Reddit reported that their ring began smoking and burning their finger on a morning walk. The user felt a burn on their finger, attempted to get the ring off quickly, and developed a blister upon removal.
