Lululemon under investigation over forever chemicals in activewear

Lululemon activewear is under investigation in the US for potentially containing PFAS, or 'forever chemicals', which are used to make clothing waterproof, stain-resistant and sweat-resistant but have been linked to serious health problems. While the brand claims it stopped using PFAS in 2023, these chemicals can persist in older garments for hundreds or thousands of years. Many activewear brands likely use PFAS to achieve performance features, and Australia currently has limited regulations requiring disclosure or restricting concentrations of these chemicals in clothing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
