- Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into Lululemon over allegations its activewear may contain PFAS 'forever chemicals.'
- The probe will examine whether Lululemon misled consumers about product safety and if its apparel meets stated health and quality standards.
- PFAS are linked to health risks such as cancer and infertility; Lululemon says it phased out PFAS in 2023 and is cooperating with authorities.
Beyond Lululemon, which major activewear brands might face 'forever chemical' scrutiny next? Lululemon claims 'no PFAS' since 2023; why is Texas AG Paxton investigating now? What financial and reputational fallout could Lululemon face if allegations are proven? With rising state bans, can companies realistically achieve truly 'PFAS-free' products? Does exercising in PFAS-treated clothing pose a greater health risk than other exposures?
