From the legal side of things, Greenpeace has posted a report citing Apple's iPhone as containing hazardous materials for which the environmental advocate has brought suit against Apple.

According to iLounge, research performed by Greenpeace's research laboratories in the United Kingdom have show the presence of toxic compounds via the flame-retardant materials and PVC used in the iPhone.

Following this, the Center for Environmental Health announced that it's suing Apple based upon materials from the Greenpeace report. The Center is citing California's Proposition 65 law which states that products which expose consumers to phthalates and other chemicals known as either reproductive toxins or carcinogens must carry an appropriate warning label, which the iPhone currently doesn't.

Apple and Greenpeace have gone back and forth in recent months regarding the company's products and Greenpeace's environmental critique of them, Apple CEO Steve Jobs penning an update in which he stated that according to Macworld News, “Apple plans to completely eliminate the use of PVC and BFRs in its products by the end of 2008.”
