27 Jan 2023 --- US-based Thinx has settled a class action lawsuit after allegations were made that its period underwear products contain potentially harmful PFAS chemicals despite being advertised as sustainable, organic and reusable. The company denies all of the allegations brought forward in the Dickens, et al. v. Thinx Inc. lawsuit and “anything improper or unlawful.” However, the plaintiff Nicole Dickens claims that independent testing found Thinx’s underwear to contain the so-called “forever chemicals.”
