Underwear Brand Settles PFAS Lawsuit for $4 Million

Thinx, the first and arguably most well-known brand of period underwear on the market, has been sued over the alleged presence of PFAS in its product. 

A class action lawsuit claims the toxic “forever chemicals” were found in the underwear, which Thinx has branded and advertised as safe, organic and chemical-free. Studies have found PFAS are linked to a number of adverse health effects.

Thinx has denied the allegations in the lawsuit and settled for $4 million, which includes a payout to those who have purchased the often-costly underwear. A pair of Thinx costs on average about $35, depending on style.
