Lululemon 'forever chemicals' probe

Lululemon has denied the claims, stating that it stopped using per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in its products several years ago.

However, the investigation will examine the company's current manufacturing processes and supply chain to verify these assertions.

PFAS are known for their persistence in the environment and have been linked to various health issues, including cancer and hormonal disruptions.

The probe is part of a wider regulatory crackdown on the use of harmful chemicals in consumer goods and could lead to significant legal and financial consequences for the apparel giant.
