""We take any safety-related report seriously and are actively reviewing the recent posts on a case-by-case basis.

Two Oura Ring users reported rings that overheated and smoked, with one user experiencing a finger burn and blister after removing the ring. One user reported smelling "electronic fire" and said the ring smoked after four to five months of wear; another user reported a defective ring at purchase. Oura is reviewing reports case-by-case, conducting third-party analysis, and characterizing the incidents as isolated. Smart rings use compact lithium-ion batteries that can enter thermal runaway if damaged, overheated, overcharged, or defective, though recent advancements and "stringent safety standards" have reduced consumer risk.
