Not really, but a news piece from ABC News in Australia is reporting that factory workers in southern China have fallen seriously ill after working in a plant responsible for producing Apple laptops and iPhones. According to the workers they were admitted to the hospital after breathing toxic vapors from n-hexane. After breathing in the vapors they became dizzy and were unable to walk.
Correspondent Stephen McDonell cannot confirm whether the factory where this took place is an official Apple supplier or a Chinese factory that produces fakes. One of the workers kept Apple logos they were gluing on with n-hexane to provide proof they were working on Apple products, which does little to prove if this was a legit factory or not.
Workers falling ill while working on Apple products is nothing new. It was reported earlier this year that 62 Employees at Wintek had to be hospitalized after being exposed to n-hexane.
Of course Apple would not confirm it had sourced products from companies based in China, but say it has tightened requirements regarding workplace safety at its suppliers.
