What Fabletics says and does about PFAS

Fabletics says its scrubs use a fluorine-free stain-resistant finish with no PFAS, but we found no PFAS policy covering its leggings or other activewear. In lab tests commissioned by Mamavation, a Fabletics PowerHold legging showed no detectable fluorine, while one Fabletics sports bra measured 23 ppm organic fluorine, a screening marker that can indicate PFAS.
