"An advocacy group filed paperwork invoking California's Proposition 65 law.

Folks who use Carefree pantyliners will want to take notice after it was revealed that its parent company, Connecticut-based Edgewell Personal Care Co., is being sued over an alleged failure to alert customers that their products contain toxic forever chemicals, better known as PFAS.

PFAS is the name given to those per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances used in manufacturing certain products. The chemicals have been dubbed forever chemicals because their molecular makeup makes it impossible for them to break down, allowing them to leach chemicals into the things they come in contact with."
