The $100 Belkin BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Charging Power Bank carries a warning mandated by California state regulators due to hazardous chemical content, specifically Bisphenol A (BPA). Its presence raises concerns regarding exposure to potential health risks, including fertility issues.
California's Proposition 65 requires the warning for products containing BPA, which can disrupt hormones and cause serious health problems. Despite being the strictest in the US, Prop65 is far less stringent compared to EU regulations that entirely ban BPA in children's food packaging.
Research indicates that 16-20 percent of BPA from consumer products can be absorbed through human skin. This poses potential health threats, as skin contact with BPA has been linked to adverse effects.
Consumers are left questioning the safety of Apple’s products, including the Belkin charger and plastic iPhone cases, highlighting a growing concern about the prevalence of hazardous chemicals in everyday tech accessories.
