Lululemon pants leech PFAS and plastics into bodies, Texas attorney general claims

0
Back in late 2025, Green Prophet began asking uncomfortable questions about what’s really inside your yoga pants, from transparency failures (yes, those infamous see-through leggings) to the less visible and scarier issue: Your sweat is unlocking microplastics and chemical coatings sitting in the most absorbent parts of the human body.

What's happening in Japan right now could change how we think about heavy industry and climate action.
