Fitbit said that a class-action suit filed by consumers against the company over its heart-rate technology does not have merit. “Fitbit stands behind our heart-rate technology and strongly disagrees with the statements made in the complaint and plans to vigorously defend the lawsuit,” a Fitbit spokesperson said Wednesday. Consumers filed a lawsuit against Fitbit on Tuesday claiming that two of Fitbit’s wearable fitness trackers did not accurately track heart rates. But the company added that its devices are centered around tracking fitness goals, and not meant to be medical devices.
