Lead plaintiffs alleged in the Fitbit sleep tracker class action lawsuit that the devices were misleadingly advertised. Consumers were told that certain Fitbits, a well-known wearable fitness tracking device, would also track their sleep patterns. However, the Fitbit readings reportedly varied by more than an hour.
According to the Fitbit class action lawsuit, consumers paid upwards of $30 more for Fitbit that had a sleep tracker, as opposed to the non-sleep tracking version of the device. Fitbit owners say they were being told that they got an average of 67 minutes more sleep a night when compared to other tracking methods.
The plaintiffs accused Fitbit Inc. of falsely advertising the Fitbit sleep tracker, contending there was no way the device could accurately track sleep patterns.
The parties originally settled the Fitbit sleep tracker class action lawsuit in August 2018; however, a California federal judge kicked the deal back because of its reliance on coupons as relief for Class Members.
Under the terms of the newly proposed Fitbit class action settlement, Class Members can claim a total cash payment of $12.50 per device. If more than one eligible device was purchased, a separate Claim Form must be submitted for each Fitbit.
Class Members may submit a claim online or by mail. Although no proof of purchase is required, Class Members must have registered their devices online and provided an email address. That same email address must be provided on the Claim Form.
The deadline for Class Members to exclude themselves from the Fitbit sleep tracker settlement is May 30, 2019 and the deadline to object is June 17, 2019.
