It's not often that Apple responds to criticism. Even in cases like its disastrous AI news alerts, it preferred to quickly and quietly roll out an update. But the Cupertino tech giant has come out with a public statement in response to fears about the safety of Apple Watch bands triggered by a scathing report and a class action lawsuit.

Apple has made headlines for supposedly increasing the risk of cancer in its consumers. Apple is currently facing legal action for allegedly exposing consumers to dangerous chemicals that might lead to cancer and other serious health issues.

A class action lawsuit has been filed against Apple, alleging that some Apple Watch wristbands contain potentially hazardous levels of harmful chemicals.

A new lawsuit has been filed against Apple after a study found that some of its watch bands contain toxic 'forever chemicals.'

Earlier this week, a class action lawsuit was filed against Apple, accusing the company of knowingly using harmful chemicals in three Apple Watch bands. On Thursday, Apple made a public statement about the lawsuit, stating that the bands are “Safe for users to wear.”

A new class-action lawsuit claims Apple Watch bands, including the Sport Band and Nike Sport Band, contain harmful levels of PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals."

Sky News host Liz Storer has discussed a class action lawsuit that alleges Apple Watch bands contain “forever chemicals” that can be potentially harmful.
