Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Fitbit Inc. (NYSE: FIT).

On October 26, 2016, a United States District Judge for the Northern District of California United States District Court denied a motion to dismiss in a shareholder class action against Fitbit and certain of its officers and directors, including CEO, President, and Chairman James Park, Chief Financial Officer William Zerella, Chief Technology Officer and Director Eric Friedman, Director Jonathan Callaghan, Director Steven Murray, and Director Christopher Paisley. Fitbit and the other defendants failed to disclose to investors that its heart rate monitoring technology does not consistently deliver accurate heart rate readings, particularly during exercise, when undercounted heart rates could pose serious health risks to users.

In denying Fitbit’s motion to dismiss the securities fraud class action, the court stated that the plaintiffs had “pointed to numerous statements in which Fitbit claimed that its devices were able to track heart rates and could do so with a high degree of accuracy” and has “sufficiently alleged material misrepresentation or omission” by the defendants.

KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether Fitbit’s officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to Fitbit’s shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
