Several Oura ring owners have claimed their devices are overheating and shared pictures of the results on Reddit, prompting concerns over safety. The claims follow the report of a Samsung Galaxy Ring owner being hospitalized with burns back in September.
Oura itself has been quick to respond in the /OuraRing subreddit, where the claims were posted, to say it would be investigating the issue. One of the first posts, made on December 5, is titled "Ring started smoking" and shows five images of an Oura Ring 4 with burn marks showing on the metal case as well as a blister on the owner's finger.
