Toxic PFAS in menstrual pads harms reproductive health, advocates says
Briefly

The exposure is potentially a big health problem, said Vineet Dubey, an attorney representing Ecological Alliance, indicating that the product has direct contact with the bloodstream.
PFAS are linked to cancer, kidney disease, liver problems, and immune disorders, raising alarming concerns about consumer health from everyday products.
The lawsuit demands Carefree and Edgewell either remove PFAS or warn consumers about its presence, emphasizing California's Proposition 65 law on toxic chemicals.
Recent research suggests skin absorbs PFAS at higher rates than thought, heightening worries over menstrual pads that are worn for extended periods.
