Earlier this month, the feminine hygiene company Thinx settled a class-action lawsuit for five million dollars over the use of PFAS in its products. Thinx used PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, to improve the performance of its period underwear. Studies have linked PFAS to fertility problems, certain cancers, and other health risks. Consumers who purchased Thinx products between November 12th, 2016, and November 28th, 2022 have until April 12th, 2023 to submit an online claim to be eligible for partial cash reimbursement or a voucher for thirty-five percent off a single purchase. Consumers may visit thinxunderwearsettlement.com/Home/SubmitClaim to submit a claim.
