Apple faces a new lawsuit alleging that the company’s watch bands contain harmful Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals.” These chemicals are linked to various health problems and are notoriously difficult to break down in the environment.

The lawsuit claims the company knowingly used PFAS in its watch bands, putting consumers at risk. The specific health concerns linked to PFAS exposure in the lawsuit are not mentioned in the summary I can access without paid access to the article. However, PFAS has been linked to a variety of health issues, including cancer, thyroid problems, and immune system deficiencies.
The lawsuit is in its early stages, and it’s unclear what the outcome might be. However, it could damage the company’s reputation and lead to changes in the materials used in their watch bands.
While more information is needed to understand the extent of the risks, this lawsuit raises concerns about the potential health and environmental impacts of PFAS in consumer products. It’s a situation worth following to see how it unfolds and what, if any, actions Apple takes in response.
