Lululemon probed for 'forever chemicals'

Lululemon probed for 'forever chemicals'

Lululemon is facing legal scrutiny in Texas as regulators examine whether its popular workout gear contains PFAS, chemicals linked to cancer and infertility.

Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a civil investigative demand following reports of the substances in various apparel lines.

Lululemon has denied the allegations, stating it phased out the use of such chemicals over two years ago.

The investigation has already impacted the company's stock price as investors weigh the potential for significant legal liabilities.
