Apple Watch Bands can be worn safely, companted by toxic chemicals and filed a lawsuit.

The Apple Watch band can be worn safely after many smart watch bands have expressed concern about the existence of PFA (Polifluoroalkyl substance).

PFA is linked to a lot of health concerns and is known as an “eternal chemical substance” because it does not break in the body or environment …

Notre Dame University PFAS Research

A survey at the Notre Dame University found that PFA was found in nine different smart watches and fitness tracker brands. A specific brand that tested positive has not been identified, but this survey says that the Apple band was included.

The results showed that nine of the 22 -tested 22 bands include the rise in PFA, a type of PFA, called Perfluorohexano acid. The level of PFHXA was more common because it costs a high -priced watch band or costs $ 15 or more (…)

Chemicals move from the skin to dust and air from the processed surface to create multiple exposure routes, including inhalation, intake, and skin absorption. Peasley and his team quoted this as an important concern about wearable consumer products (…)

Eternal chemicals include immunodecasting, hormonal adjustments, children’s developmental delays, low birth weight, decreased adolescent, high blood pressure in pregnant women, and increased risk of specific cancer such as kidneys and testicular cancer. It is related to the state.

One of the particular concerns raised by the team is that PFA can pass through the skin, but it also requires more research on how much it will occur.

Class action litigation targets three Apple Watch bands

Register Apple reports that it is currently facing PFAS litigation for three Apple Watch bands.

This lawsuit, which was filed in the northern part of California yesterday, targets three Apple Watch bands. A sports band equipped with Nike Sport Band equipped with the new basic model Apple Watches, The Ocean Band, and Nike Branded Apple Watches. Apple explains that all three are made from Fluoroerastomers. This claims that the lawsuit hides the existence of Passful Oraoalkyl substance or PFA.

Apple says the band is safe, but will gradually abolish PFA

Apple acknowledges that PFA exists in several products, and it is explained that the Full Oropolimer has the highest concentration. However, the band says it is safe.

The Apple Watch band is safe for users to wear. In addition to its own tests, we are working with independent research institutes to conduct strict tests and analysis of materials used in products, including Apple Watch Bands.

despite this, News Week Our plan has reported that PFA will gradually abolish over time.

Apple also stated that the use of PFA in the product will be “completely abolished”. In the November 2022 document, the company stated: “We started with the PFAS class evaluation of Fluoropolymers, the most used product.”

The company states that this is unrelated to safety concerns.

In our analysis, we found that these materials were safe during the use of products, but I felt that it was important to expand the range to consider manufacturing along the supply chain. Our goal concluded that it is necessary to limit the use of all PFAS compounds. It takes time for a complete step between Apple products and PFA from processes.

Apple calls PFA as “harmful”, which may affect the environment of chemical substances that cannot be properly discarded.

Non -PFAS alternatives must not bring a disappointing alternative. You need to make sure that the alternative is as harmful or more harmful as the PFA is replaced.
