I used to wear sport watch rubber/resin bands (like G-Shocks) but am way more conscious nowadays and opt for metal band watches. At the same time, while I feel like the lawsuit may have a legit point there containing these harmful materials, if you buy a rubber-based wearable, you shouldn't be surprised that it may contain forever chemicals.

Later, when plastic bottles were introduced, it didn't occur to me (or anyone I knew) that those might be harmful etc. Also, I don't worry about drinking out of plastic bottles occasionally when traveling and when it's convenient. Same with other things (I am typing this on a plastic keyboard, lol). It's all a matter of over-exposure though I think. 30-years ago it felt like 20% of things were plastic. Now it's like 90%. I am not crazy about avoiding all plastic but sure I think it's kind of common sense to avoid plastic containers for (esp hot) food, etc or things like rubber/plastic wearables that you wear like 24h a day.
