iPhone made with hazardous chemcials

According to a recent greenpeace report on the iPhone, it contains dangerous levels of bromine, chlorine and "phthalates," chemical compounds used to increase the flexibility of plastic. This, of course, is leading to another iPhone lawsuit filed by a nonprofit environmental law group.
