Knix seeks sanctions for lawyers behind class-action suit that alleges menstrual underwear contains 'forever chemicals'

Canadian undergarment maker Knix Wear Inc. has filed a motion for sanctions against the lawyers representing the plaintiffs in a class-action complaint, saying they did not conduct an independent investigation before filing a lawsuit in April alleging the company's products contain harmful chemicals.

The original lawsuit alleged that Knix products contain unsafe PFAS, a family of chemicals used since the 1950s across a wide variety of industries and found in numerous everyday products. That lawsuit was subsequently amended to say that Knix’s menstrual underwear contain “heightened levels of fluorine which is an indicator” of unsafe PFAS.

“Rule 11 motions are rarely filed in US litigation. However, in this situation, because the court filing is so factually baseless, we are asking the Court to not only dismiss the case but to also sanction the law firm that filed it … [we] sincerely apologize to our customers for any fear or confusion that this is causing.”

“Rule 11 exists to prevent this very type of ‘file first and ask questions later’ pleading,” the company stated in its sanctions motion. “Those factors are important, because fluorine is ubiquitous in the environment and Mamavation itself acknowledges that fluorine detection can result from contamination before or during the testing process,” the sanctions motion stated.

PFAS are nothing to play around with especially on an area of the body where they could be easily absorbed into the reproductive system. It would be curious to know what Knix actually uses that makes something so thin so absorbing? 🤔

That's why ya bought them and other leak, stain, waterproof products.. You want these chemicals in your products. It's 'convenient'
