One of Samsung’s Galaxy Ring has just caused a big safety risk for a user. The brand’s tiny smart wearable gadget is under the spotlight after a Ring owner was rushed to a hospital due to a swollen battery issue. What’s worrying is that this might not be just an isolated incident.
Galaxy Ring Battery Issue Reportedly Leads to an Emergency Room Visit
Over the last couple of months, the Samsung Galaxy Ring users have reported on battery related issues they’ve been facing. Many of the complaints were related to the battery life of the South Korean tech giant’s first smart ring. But now, the battery issue has even led to a big safety risk. Daniel from Zone of Tech took to X (formerly Twitter) to talk about his unfortunate ordeal with the Galaxy Ring.
Right before he was going to board a flight, his Galaxy Ring had its battery start swelling up. Due to this, he was forced to cancel his flight. However, because of the swollen cell in the ring, Daniel was unable to remove it. While a typical ring can be cut out, you can’t do the same for a smart ring since it houses a battery cell. These can quickly catch fire if the battery wall is breached. So he promptly went to the emergency room in the hospital to find a solution that doesn’t involve cutting.
Daniel stated that the swollen ring stuck on his finger was quite painful, and the bulge made it hard to remove. Such an incident could lead to big health risks, so Samsung should have some form of fail safe or an easier method of removing the ring in such situations.
