Texas Probes Lululemon for Alleged ‘Forever Chemicals’ Use

The Texas attorney general’s office is investigating Lululemon Athletica Inc.’s apparel for the presence of so-called “forever chemicals,” which have been linked to health problems.

“Emerging research and consumer concerns have raised questions about the potential presence of certain synthetic materials and chemical compounds in their apparel,” the office of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement. The probe “will examine whether Lululemon’s athletic apparel contains PFAS or ‘forever chemicals’ that their health-conscious customers would not expect based on the brand’s marketing.”
