A consumer watchdog group may take legal action against Apple after the release of the Greenpeace report. The report states that the iPhone contains PVC and brominated flame retardants which after recycled can release toxic chemicals. PVC has also been known to potentially catch on fire. The organization wants Apple to reformulate the product and will be researching this for the next 60 days.

This article caught my attention because the fact that the iPhone is so popular it is an even worse and a much bigger hazard to the public. I think it is irresponsible for Apple to allow the iPhone to be sold since these products are supposed to undergo a series of tests and repairs before being put in the market.
