Your iPhone is TOXIC!

Apple might be in a serious trouble these days. Their most talked about cell phone - the iPhone - did not pass the Greenpeace test for chemicals and might be potentially hazardous!!

"The Greenpeace tests revealed chemicals that included "phthalates" in the vinyl plastic earphone wiring at levels that are prohibited in young children's toys in San Francisco and the European Union (EU)."

"There is no reason to have these potentially hazardous chemicals in iPhones" said Michael Green, Executive Director of Center for Environmental Health. "We expect Apple to reformulate their products to make them safer from cradle to grave, so they don't pose a threat to consumers, workers or the environment."

There is no official Apple response yet, but I'm sure this report will make a storm. meanwhile, if you do carry an iPhone, you might want at least to protect your kids from it.
