Texas attorney general probes Lululemon over potential 'forever chemicals' in its activewear

In this article

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into athleisure brand Lululemon

over the potential presence of “forever chemicals” in its activewear, he said on Monday in a post on social-media platform X.

The probe will examine whether Lululemon’s athletic apparel contains PFAS, which the brand’s health-conscious customers would not expect based on its marketing, Paxton said. PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of widely used materials called “forever chemicals” because they do not break down easily in nature.

Lululemon did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
