>> it means it's corrosive. >> he says it can happen with any wearable device. >> due to the potential interaction with things like sweat and wearable technology needs to solve this, for sure. >> many have suspected they're injured by something in the charger. >> the idea it was an irritant makes sense to me. >> fit bit says this is not an agency report and testing conducted by cpsc that never disagreed with the determination of the cause of the allergic reaction. test results found no issues with the battery and confirmed these are not the source of the reaction.

the consumer products safety commission never revealed it's theory that could be the battery to blame. we demanded information under the freedom of information act, good work. >> thank you. >> new details tonight on the indictment of house speaker dennis hastert. a source says he lied about paying to cover up decades old sexual misconduct when he was a teacher and wrestling coach in illinois. the report says he sexually abused one male student and possibly another student. he paid about half of $3.5 million so far. >> the national weather service texas got enough rain to cover the whole state. this morning a highway flooded and a crane removed the cement
