A fresh lawsuit challenges the fall detection technology used in Apple Watch and other smartwatches.
Plaintiffs claim the feature fails to reliably detect falls, leading to false alerts or missed emergencies.
Fall detection has been marketed as a lifesaving tool — but the lawsuit questions whether it delivers on that promise.
If the case succeeds, it could lead to product redesigns, warnings, or even bans on the technology.
Similar fall detection systems on Fitbit, Samsung, and others may face scrutiny too.
The lawsuit adds to ongoing discussions about AI and predictive sensor reliability in consumer devices.
