Apple has publicly addressed safety concerns regarding its Watch bands in response to a lawsuit alleging harmful levels of PFAs, prevalent in various consumer products. The company claims all their bands are safe but is actively working on phasing out these "forever chemicals". The lawsuit highlights specific bands made from fluoroelastomer and references a study linking them to potential health risks. PFAs have raised environmental alarms due to their persistence in the ecosystem, and Apple acknowledges the need for careful research and alternatives before complete elimination of these substances from their products.
Apple's public statement insists that all Apple Watch bands are safe to use, despite ongoing concerns about PFAs, which they plan to phase out.
The lawsuit claims that certain Apple Watch bands contain high levels of PFAs that can be absorbed through the skin, similar to products from other brands.
