Fitbit Says It Will Make Changes to Address Complaints About Allergic Reactions
The wristband will now come with a warning that it contains nickel, a common allergen used in many types of products, and a new sizing guideline to prevent users from wearing the devices too tightly."Significant quantities of manganese have been used in many stainless steel compositions. Manganese preserves an austenitic structure in the steel, similar to nickel, but at a lower cost.
Stainless steels are also classified by their crystalline structure:
- Austenitic, or 200 and 300 series, stainless steels have an austenitic crystalline structure, which is a face-centered cubic crystal structure. Austenite steels make up over 70% of total stainless steel production. They contain a maximum of 0.15% carbon, a minimum of 16% chromium and sufficient nickel and/or manganese to retain an austenitic structure at all temperatures from the cryogenic region to the melting point of the alloy.
-
- 200 Series—austenitic chromium-nickel-manganese alloys. Type 201 is hardenable through cold working; Type 202 is a general purpose stainless steel. Decreasing nickel content and increasing manganese results in weak corrosion resistance.[24]
-
- 300 Series—The most widely used austenite steel is the 304, also known as 18/8 for its composition of 18% chromium and 8% nickel.[25] 304 may be referred to as A2 stainless (not to be confused with A2 grade steel, also named Tool steel, a steel). The second most common austenite steel is the 316 grade, also called marine grade stainless, used primarily for its increased resistance to corrosion. A typical composition of 18% chromium and 10% nickel, commonly known as 18/10 stainless, is often used in cutlery and high-quality cookware. 18/0 is also available.". . .

In Judge’s Footnote, a Heavy Slap at Texas’ Past
The state’s credibility issue on minority voters’ rights was made clear in a federal judge’s ruling that a voter ID law was unconstitutional.
"The Supreme Court decision left in place a provision of the Voting Rights Act
that could put a state like Texas back under the preclearance
provisions — not for historical discrimination, but for current
discrimination.
If
the ruling by Judge Gonzales Ramos, an Obama appointee, stands, it
leads in that direction, saying the law’s proponents were motivated at
least in part “because of and not merely in spite of the voter ID law’s
detrimental effects on the African-American and Hispanic electorate.”"
I am glad to see the ruling.
