"After conducting its own "independent lab tests," the Center for Environmental Health (CEH), a non-profit consumer watchdog group, has concluded that the headphone cords for both the iPhone and iPod do indeed contain high levels of phthalates."
"Under CA law, products that expose consumers to the phthalates found in the iPhone and iPod cords are required to be accompanied by a warning. This does not mean that it is not "the phthalates themselves" that are a problem -- the phthalates are in fact a health problem, and since Apple does not provide a health warning to consumers, they are selling the products illegally in the state."
