  1. First aid

    Made May 1, 2026, sent to the company May 6, 2026, published by CPSC May 20, 2026

    The product, in the report: WHOOP 5.0 is a wearable fitness and health monitoring band designed to be worn continuously on the wrist 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It tracks sleep, recovery, heart rate variability, and strain. The device is worn directly against the skin and is marketed as safe for continuous wear. The device is UL Energy Verified and CE certified. It was manufactured in Mexico.

    On March 11, 2026, an adult male consumer sustained a burn injury to his wrist while wearing a WHOOP 5.0 wearable fitness tracking device, Model WG50, SKU 970-005-000. The device was being used in its normal, intended manner - worn continuously on the wrist as explicitly marketed and recommended by the manufacturer for 24/7 skin contact wear. The consumer had purchased the WHOOP 5.0 device approximately seven weeks prior on January 23, 2026, directly from whoop.com, and was wearing it as directed with no modifications, damage, or abnormal usage. No charging was taking place at the time of the incident - the device was simply being worn on the wrist during regular daily activity. The burn injury occurred directly on the skin beneath the device, causing acute pain, physical discomfort, and emotional distress. The consumer immediately removed the device upon noticing the injury and ceased wearing it on the affected wrist for several days. This is corroborated by WHOOP app data showing no wear readings on March 12, 13, and 14, 2026. Timestamped photographic evidence of the burn injury was captured on the date of the incident. The injury has since healed. However, the incident raises serious safety concerns about this device, which is UL Energy Verified and CE certified, yet caused a burn injury during normal intended use. The WHOOP 5.0 is marketed as a 24/7 wearable health monitoring device and consumers rely on the manufacturer’s safety representations when wearing the device continuously against their skin.
