Job’s Mob thought it would be a wizard wheeze to make some of its watch straps to include yummy polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Despite the claims, Apple remains steadfast in assuring that its watch bands are "safe for users to wear.”

Despite saying this, Apple intends to phase out PFAS from its products from its products and manufacturing processes. However, they cautioned that this process will "take time" due to the challenges of identifying and developing non-PFAS alternatives that meet its "performance needs."

A spokesApple said: “We started with assessing the PFAS class with the highest use volume in our products—the fluoropolymers. While our analysis indicated that these materials are safe during product use, we felt it important to broaden our scope and consider manufacturing along the supply chain. We concluded that our goal is to restrict the use of all PFAS compounds.”

The lawsuit was spurred by a recent study revealing "high levels" of PFAS in some smartwatch bands, which can be absorbed through the skin and potentially lead to health issues.

The proposed class action includes anyone in the US who purchased a Sport Band, Nike Sport Band, or Ocean Band for an Apple Watch4.

Apple, however, didn't respond to queries about the specific bands in question.

The Tame Apple Press claims that there  is nothing to worry about as a judge has yet to decide whether to allow the class action to proceed
