A recent study found that smartwatch bands from popular brands, including Apple, contain high concentrations of toxic ‘forever chemicals.’ Now, a lawsuit has been filed against Apple regarding these watch bands.
A lawsuit was filed in California’s Northern District Court (spotted by The Register) and targets three Apple Watch fluoroelastomer bands that are said to contain “forever chemicals.” These bands are the Sport band included with the smartwatch, the Ocean band, and the Nike Sport band that ships with the Apple Watch Nike devices.
