Apple is facing a class action lawsuit alleging that its Sport Band, Ocean Band, and Nike Sport Band contain toxic PFAS chemicals, also known as forever chemicals. These substances, linked to cancer, immune suppression, and other health risks, are durable but do not break down in the environment. The lawsuit claims Apple failed to warn consumers, despite safer alternatives. A Notre Dame study found PFAS in smartwatch bands, raising further concerns. Plaintiffs seek monetary damages and an injunction to halt sales. Apple, which has not yet commented, now faces scrutiny over consumer safety and product transparency.
