FDA warning letter to Whoop: Blood Pressure Insights marketed beyond clearance

On July 14 2025 the FDA issued Whoop a warning letter (MARCS-CMS 709755) stating that the Blood Pressure Insights (BPI) daily systolic/diastolic estimation feature on the WHOOP MG / Life membership is an unapproved medical device marketed without clearance, since BP estimation is inherently tied to diagnosis of hypo-/hypertension. Whoop publicly disagreed (Jul 15 2025) and BPI remained accessible; as of mid-2026 the dispute is UNRESOLVED with no recall. The load-bearing marketing-beyond-clearance exemplar of the biometric cohort.
