Texas AG Launches Investigation into Popular Women’s Brands Over Toxic Chemicals
· Texas Border Business
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated an investigation into several popular feminine care and cosmetic brands, including lip balm and lipstick, to assess potential health risks from toxic chemicals. The inquiry aims to determine if these companies mislead consumers about harmful ingredients, such as titanium dioxide and heavy metals, found in their products. A recent study identified dangerous levels of heavy metals in over 30 tampon products from various brands. The investigation will examine compliance with the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, focusing on consumer safety and product claims. Companies like Tampax and Kotex have received Civil Investigative Demands as part of this process.
