- Sky News host Liz Storer has discussed a class action lawsuit that alleges Apple Watch bands contain “forever chemicals” that can be potentially harmful.
“Do you wear an Apple Watch because guess what? They’re riddled with PFAS, it’s in the armband and they’re being taken to court over this,” Ms Storer said.
“Apple are accused of not telling people that there’s toxic levels of forever chemicals … in their bands.
“This stuff is bad stuff.”
An Apple spokesman said, “Apple Watch bands are safe for users to wear.”
“In addition to our own testing, we also work with independent laboratories to conduct rigorous testing and analysis of the materials used in our products, including Apple Watch bands," the spokesman said.
Never a concern of mine. Too poor for that kind of crap.
Haha same
Never a concern of mine. Too smart to buy this kind of crap.
after they took away leather straps to 'save the planet'
The whole company is Toxic ☠☠☢
True
@@filipedamaroubra No Apple in my house .👍
Truth and we are bullied to use iPhones by Labor.
@@amber-believes How so?
I have never bought an Apple product and never will.
Thanks for providing no meaningful information-no cited studies, no specific bands to be aware of, just vague claims. Viewers will watch this, and the gullible will say, “I knew it!” You’re also citing The Daily Mail, a tabloid notorious for sensationalist headlines. Excellent work catering to the lowest common denominator.
Not the global money laundering, slave-like conditions of manufacture or tax havens from huts on an obscure island? It was the watch bands....
Yep, that's what the 'left' complain about. You've just been outed.
You just described the biggest 1000 companies in the world...
I’ve worn them for at least 5 years or more and never had a problem.
People took Zantac for years too. Then, Oopsie
Typical suffragette comment
Of course. 🙄
Does this apply to all the bands or just the plastic rubber ones that come with the watches?
What do you expect from company who has no regard for people's privacy
exactly
Here we go....which company ticks all your boxes?
Apple is the only company that cares about privacy so much so that even the FBI can’t access your data.

Says the guy who posts a comment from a Google phone on Google. Idiot
Bet there is heaps of that in new cars too hey
When I had an apple watch, I had to find a nylon band because my wrist would constantly get irritated. Mind you, I have no allergies to silicon. At the time, I thought it was just from dirt or dead skin cells. Guess this makes more sense now.
I have zero desire to have radiation on my wrist 24/7, let alone the chemicals.
Got to defend apple on this one. This is common on all elastics.
Don’t be a corporate cuck
Shocking. Lol.
Never have used any of these products.
People should just enjoy other people's company in real time......
Problem solved.
no
What do you expect from a company that makes their products in China and pay no tax, Stoner?
;)
yeah thats what it is...
What is the alternative for those bands?
I looked the other day & there wasn’t any leather bands which are expensive but just other metal bands even more expensive than Hermes leather.
It's everything except the armband 😂 how about the instruments used to track your body vitals.
1. Electromagnetic Radiation (EMF)
2. Optical Heart Rate Sensors
Get your tin foil hat off buddy
Speaking from experience. If you haven’t felt it, good for you. Dismissing it outright? Shut your mouth
Is that how Nike is pronounced in Australia?
Talk about cutting edge "R&D".
But they're in California. Nothing cancerous is allowed there like guns or crime.
Wth we're being poisoned ! What for the privelige of paying how much for these phs and watches
That’s why I don’t wear the plastic crap they sell for £70+ I use the fabric ones and they cause no issues with my wrist and are comfortable unlike the silicon crap
Haha men
Im talking to you 😅
Yeah, it’s plastic. I thought most of us knew that already.
I’ve been wearing my Apple Watches daily since the first gen. I have 4 of them. 1 Hermes leather, 1 Milanese loop, and 2 sport versions.
Weird place to flex, but you do you.

@kingvejita8827

Babies love to teeth on watch bands 😢

Toxic presenters on Sky news?

Do you have Down's Syndrome? This is about smartwatches, not a place for you to brag about dumbwatches.
So who got cancer? I need names..

They are working with WEF to get the numbers down 🤣
@Psittacine-pp5yd
Cooker alert! 😅
Anyone here thats bashing sky news Australia for being woke are obviously leftys. The uk version is definitely woke but Australia version tell it as it is and that is definitely not woke😂 telling people about concerning stuff is needed but not telling people is worrying!
But this story was WOKE. Trying to conjure up some obscure social media story to take down a successful big business.
How about you let us decide what's WOKE?
