A new study has revealed the presence of harmful PFAS chemicals, known as ‘forever chemicals,’ in popular condom and lubricant brands. These chemicals, linked to serious health issues, are absorbed readily by sensitive areas, raising concerns about potential health risks for users.
Recent research has revealed that ‘forever chemicals’ known as PFAS can be absorbed through human skin, adding to existing concerns about their potential health impacts. PFAS, used in various products, are known to persist in the environment and accumulate in the body, posing risks to the immune system, reproductive health, and possibly cancer. While scientists are still unraveling the full extent of their effects, ongoing research emphasizes the need for stricter regulations and consumer awareness to mitigate exposure.
A new survey by Culligan, a global water treatment leader, reveals that while most Americans are concerned about water safety, they lack understanding and action regarding PFAS, or ‘forever chemicals.’ The survey found that only 12% of those who believe PFAS are present in their water could accurately explain the contaminants. Culligan emphasizes the need for greater understanding and guidance on water quality, offering testing and treatment solutions to help people take control of their water safety.
Prime Hydration has responded to a lawsuit alleging that its grape flavor contains harmful ‘forever chemicals’. The company denies the claims and says the study cited in the lawsuit is ‘absolute bullsh*t’. Prime also says it saves samples of every batch and is ready to have them tested to prove its drink is safe.
A class-action lawsuit filed against Prime Hydration, co-founded by Logan Paul, alleges that its grape-flavored drink contains extremely high levels of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), exceeding recommended daily limits by three times. The lawsuit accuses the company of deceptive marketing practices, claiming the product as healthy despite the presence of these toxic chemicals, which can cause various health issues. The case follows scientific evidence and similar lawsuits highlighting the harmful effects of PFAS chemicals, which have become widespread in many consumer products and contaminated water sources.
A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Prime Hydration LLC, a sports drink company founded by Logan Paul and KSI, alleging that its grape-flavored drink contains toxic “forever chemicals” at levels three times higher than the recommended daily limit. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, claims that Prime fraudulently marketed its drinks as healthy despite knowing about the presence of these chemicals. The company argues that the plaintiff lacks standing and has not suffered any cognizable injury. The court is expected to issue a written order once a decision has been made.
A class-action lawsuit alleges that a leading sports drink brand founded by celebrity boxer and wrestler Logan Paul and co-founder KSI contains toxic “forever chemicals” at three times the limit of what a human should consume in an entire lifetime. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, accuses Prime Hydration LLC of fraudulently marketing its drinks as healthy despite high levels of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) found in one of its flavors. PFAS chemicals have been linked to serious health problems, including cancer, hormone disruption, and immune system dysfunction. The allegations follow similar lawsuits and years of scientific evidence showing the dangers of PFAS chemicals. The Environmental Protection Agency has banned some PFAS chemicals, but thousands of different types exist, making it challenging to regulate and eliminate them.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has officially designated perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), two prevalent ‘forever chemicals,’ as hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). This move sets the stage for the agency to enforce cleanup measures on polluters who have released these toxic chemicals into the environment.
In Canada, existing guidelines allow significantly more PFOA and PFOS in drinking water than recently announced U.S. requirements, prompting Health Canada to consider tightening restrictions.
