英语新闻丨Lululemon，被调查

Lululemon Athletica Inc said products currently sold in China do not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), amid rising consumer concern following a Texas investigation into the potential presence of toxic chemicals in its apparel.

运动服饰品牌露露乐蒙（Lululemon Athletica Inc）近日表示，目前在中国市场销售的产品均不含全氟和多氟烷基物质（PFAS）。此前美国得克萨斯州对其服装产品可能含有毒化学物质展开调查，引发消费者广泛关注。

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into the company, issuing a Civil Investigative Demand to Lululemon's US unit to examine whether it misled consumers about product safety, quality, and potential health effects, according to a statement released April 13.

得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿4月13日发布声明称，已对露露乐蒙启动调查程序，并向该公司美国分部发出民事调查令，重点核查其在产品安全、质量及潜在健康影响方面是否存在误导消费者的行为。

In response to inquiries, Lululemon China said it "always places the health and safety of its guests as a top priority," adding that all products currently sold in the country are free of PFAS and comply with applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards.

面对媒体质询，露露乐蒙中国方面回应称，公司"始终将顾客健康安全置于首位"，强调目前在中国境内销售的所有产品均未添加PFAS成分，且完全符合现行法律法规及行业标准。

The investigation comes as consumer scrutiny intensifies over chemicals used in synthetic fabrics. PFAS, sometimes referred to as "forever chemicals", have been linked in some studies to endocrine disruption, infertility, and certain cancers — raising broader concerns about their use in performance apparel.

此次调查正值公众对合成面料化学添加剂问题日益警觉之际。PFAS因其难以降解的特性被称为"永久性化学物质"，部分研究显示这类物质可能与内分泌紊乱、不孕不育及特定癌症存在关联，其在功能性服装领域的应用正引发行业性担忧。

Lululemon, which generated more than $11 billion in revenue in fiscal 2025, has positioned itself as a wellness-focused lifestyle brand emphasizing sustainability and high-performance materials.

作为2025财年营收突破110亿美元的行业巨头，露露乐蒙一直着力塑造以健康生活为核心、强调可持续发展与高性能面料的品牌形象。

The probe has also drawn attention from consumers. Wendy Chen, a Beijing-based customer, said she was "concerned and shocked".

调查消息已引起消费者群体反应。北京顾客陈女士表示感到"震惊与不安"。

"I own several pairs of their leggings and jackets, and just recently bought more because I trust the brand's wellness image," she said. "I hope the investigation brings clarity soon."

她坦言："我买了他们家好几条运动裤和夹克，最近还因信任其健康理念新入手了产品，真心希望调查结果能尽快水落石出。"
