Overview
- Lululemon is under a consumer-protection investigation by the Texas attorney general over possible PFAS in its apparel and possible misleading safety claims.
- The review centers on whether the clothes contain PFAS, a group of long-lasting chemicals used to add water and stain resistance.
- Paxton’s office requested Lululemon’s Restricted Substances List, testing records, and supplier oversight details to check if its standards match its marketing.
- Lululemon says it phased out PFAS in fiscal 2023 for a small share of water-repellent items and says it is cooperating by sending documents.
- No violations have been announced, and the probe follows 2022 independent tests that found fluorine indicators in several activewear brands that later pledged PFAS phase-outs.
