Recently, the University of Notre Dame found that smartwatch bands from several companies contained high levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as “forever chemicals.” These substances are associated with various health issues including cancer, birth defects, and infertility. According to the researchers, the fluoroelastomer bands in Sport Band, Nike Sport Band, and Ocean Band have alarming concentrations of PFAS. The health risk exposure through the skin is likely to happen when someone is physically active. In this regard, Apple is being sued while still saying their watch bands are safe and that they will eliminate the PFAS contents in all their products. This also raises concern over PFAS in consumer goods, and therefore, it calls for more research to understand the long-term implications of these chemicals.
