Whether you want to believe it or not, the tablet from iPad is in the middle of a new possible scandal, this time the materials that make up the case generating headaches for the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. According to the doctors in a hospital in Chicago, an 11-year-old boy allegedly suffered from an irritation caused by the nickel present in a 1st generation iPad tablet launched by Apple in 2010.
But it was an Apple iPad that caused an itchy body rash in an 11-year-old boy recently treated at a San Diego hospital, according to a report in Monday's Pediatrics. The boy had a common skin condition that causes scaly patches, but he developed a different rash all over his body that didn't respond to usual treatment. Skin testing showed he had a nickel allergy, and doctors traced it to an iPad his family had bought in 2010.
Testing the tablet case, the doctors discovered that it contains nickel, and based on his daily use, the 11-year-old boy would have been irritated. After a treatment and protection of the tablet with a case, the irritations stopped appearing and before you attack Apple, you should know that an extremely wide range of tablets, smartphones or laptops contain the same material, so all they can generate the same kind of problems for vulnerable children.
In the USA, the problem is quite big, because allergies generated by contact with nickel are increasing among very young children, most of them use mobile terminals.
