Do you know what's in your clothes?

An 2021 investigation by CBC found elevated levels of lead, phthalates, and and PFAS in Shein clothing for children and adults. These chemicals are linked to health problems such as weakening the immune system, liver and kidney damage, and disrupting the body's hormones.

Experts told @insider that many large clothing brands use toxic chemicals, and exposure can cause serious health problems over time. Children may face increased risk.

Testing by Mamavation found that yoga pants and gym leggings sold by Lululemon and Old Navy contained PFAS.

Substances like lead and phthalates may harm people manufacturing clothes more than consumers.

@joinourco estimates that 27 million people working in clothing manufacturing could suffer from work-related illnesses or diseases, including skin and respiratory conditions.
