Do Fitbit wristbands contain PFA's/PFAS?

[SusanA123]

Hi there, has anyone been able to confirm whether Fitbit watch bands contain PFAS/PFA's following the recent study that tested various wearable bands. I contacted customer service for more information, but unfortunately, the agent wasn’t able to provide any details about which Fitbit bands are free from PFAS. When I asked if the company was aware of the study or taking any action to address this, I was told they were not.

I’m looking for a non-toxic band option, but I want to make sure I’m avoiding all harmful substances—not just PFAS but also other chemicals or toxic coatings. I’m open to exploring any band material that is safe, whether it’s silicone, leather, metal, fabric, or any other material. Has anyone been able to get clarification from Fitbit or found reliable sources regarding the presence of harmful chemicals in their bands?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Mario, 

Je ne comprends pas... Avez vous lit le meilleur réponse  https://community.fitbit.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/190029 écrivait le 19 de janvier? Il a dit que les Pixels avaient du PFAS.  Vous n'avons pas la même histoire 🤔.

Qu'est-ce qui c'est passé?

Mario,

I don't understand... Have you read the best response https://community.fitbit.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/190029 written 1/19?  He said the Pixels had PFAS.  You guys don't have the same story.  

What's going on?

??!!??🤨

You & moderator Andrea (1/19 https://community.fitbit.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/190029 ) must have received information from different resources, or understood it differently (à la game Operator), or relayed it differently, or something... 🤷🏻‍:female_sign:

Whatever the case, you guys should get together, and verify the answers with a reliable🧐 source until you both have the same answer,

THEN come back to the boards and give us a truthful, accurate, consistent answer.

This is the Fitbit forum, so the response that there are no PFAs is the correct answer as it relates to Fitbit devices.

The second response in this thread that was chosen as the best answer details the devices that have PFAs and answers your question.

Hi,

Can I get a confirmation that the Fitbit Inspire 2 original watch strap does not consist of PFAs? I’m worried as I’m wearing it everyday

• Which devices contain PFAS?

1. Pixel Watch Active Bands that come in-box with a new device or are sold separately as accessories. 
2. Fitbit device bands and all other Pixel Watch bands do not contain PFAS.
