Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launches investigation into Lululemon over cancer-linked 'forever chemicals'

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into fitness giant Lululemon over cancer-linked 'forever chemicals.' 

Paxton said Monday he is seeking records on whether the company's athletic wear contains PFAS, also known as 'forever chemicals.' 

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are toxic chemicals that don't break down in the body, instead leeching into food or the skin from nonstick cookware, waterproof or resistant fabrics and takeout containers, and building up in vital organs, increasing the risk of organ failure, reproductive complications and some forms of cancer. 

Virtually all humans are exposed to PFAS on a regular basis, going back to even before birth in the womb. 

The inquiry centers on whether Lululemon misled consumers about the safety and makeup of its products by selling apparel that may contain PFAS.
