Apple is facing a lawsuit in California for allegedly selling smartwatch bands containing high levels of PFAS, known as "forever chemicals," which are linked to serious health issues. The lawsuit highlights three specific bands: the Sport Band, Ocean Band, and Nike Sport Band. These chemicals are prevalent in many consumer products and have been associated with risks such as cancer and immune suppression. A recent study indicated that several smartwatch bands, including those made by Apple, had elevated PFAS levels, raising concerns about long-term exposure and health impacts for consumers.
The lawsuit alleges that Apple knowingly sold smartwatch bands with high levels of PFAS, also known as 'forever chemicals,' linked to serious health risks.
The chemicals in question are valued for being inexpensive and effective but are now recognized as posing severe health risks, including cancer and immune system issues.
According to a study, fitness trackers and smartwatch bands from multiple manufacturers, including Apple, were found to have elevated levels of concerning 'forever chemicals'.
PFAS are dangerous because they accumulate in the body and persist in the environment, leading to increased health risks over time.
