Apple is facing a class-action lawsuit accusing the company of exposing users to cancer-causing "forever chemicals" in its Watch bands. The lawsuit, filed in California, claims that certain Apple Watch bands, including the Sport Band and Ocean Band, contain high levels of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). These chemicals are linked to cancer and fertility issues. The lawsuit alleges Apple knowingly concealed this information, despite marketing its products as health-promoting. The plaintiffs seek an injunction to stop the sale of the bands and monetary penalties. Apple maintains that its products are safe and undergo rigorous testing.
