Paxton targets Lululemon in PFAS inquiry over 'forever chemicals' in athletic wear

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton opened a probe into Lululemon, seeking records on whether its athletic wear contains PFAS ('forever chemicals') and whether the company misled consumers about safety. Lululemon says it phased PFAS out in fiscal year 2023 and is cooperating with the inquiry, while Paxton reviews the brand's Restricted Substances List, testing protocols and supply chain. Paxton has previously pursued PFAS-related actions and state-level studies on the chemicals.
