Claim Up-To $52 In Thinx Underwear Class Action Settlement

You could be entitled to up to $52 as part of the Thinx class action settlement if you bought Thinx underwear. Thinx has agreed to pay $4 million to settle allegations that the chemicals used to make its period underwear are hazardous and have a serious negative impact on health.

Thinx LLC, a business that sells menstrual underwear and other menstrual and incontinence products, has been named in a class action lawsuit. The short-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”), the Agion anti-microbial treatment, and the underwear line made of organic cotton are all allegedly dangerous chemicals found in the products, according to the lawsuit. All of the accusations are denied by Thinx, and it also maintains that it did nothing improper or illegal. Thinx further affirms that PFAS were never incorporated into the creation of its products. The proposed settlement does not represent Thinx’s admission of any wrongdoing or guilt.

The plaintiffs claimed in their lawsuit that Thinx used harmful polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in its products. Due to their water resistance and non-stick properties, PFAS chemicals are used, but they may have harmful health effects, including cancer. Period underwear is one of many menstrual and incontinence management products offered by the Thinx brand. Thinx hasn’t admitted to doing anything wrong, but it has agreed to pay $4 million to settle a class action lawsuit about these claims.
