Settlement Related to BPA in Leggings Under California Proposition 65

There have been several settlements for apparel items such as socks and athletic shirts for allegedly containing bisphenol A (BPA). Recently, there was a Consent Judgement settled for leggings, as well as athletic shirts, made primarily of polyester with spandex containing BPA.

The injunctive relief in that judgement includes the following:

Reformulation: Per the judgement, a product “contains BPA” if BPA is intentionally added to the product or product component or contains more than 10 parts per billion BPA. Also, BPA cannot be replaced with any other bisphenol (such as Bisphenol S).

OR:

Warning label: Election to Warn: leggings (and athletic shirts) which contain more than 10 ppb BPA may bear the appropriate warning, as follows:
This product can expose you to chemicals including Bisphenol A (BPA) which is known to the Sate of California to cause birth defects or other reproductiive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
