Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched a formal consumer protection investigation into Lululemon, alleging the athleisure giant may have deceived health-conscious shoppers about the presence of toxic synthetic chemicals in its activewear.
On 13 April 2026, Paxton's office issued a Civil Investigative Demand to Lululemon USA Inc., a legal instrument that compels a company to hand over documents and data before any formal lawsuit is filed. The probe centres on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, collectively known as PFAS or 'forever chemicals,' a class of synthetic compounds that do not break down in the human body or the natural environment.
