Weave’s Director of Science and Research, Alexandra Scranton, was interviewed by Chemical Watch News and Insight about the prop 65 lawsuit.

Scranton said the 12ng/day of PFOA exposure calculated for the panty liners is quite a lot compared to exposures of 33ng/day from diet and 4.2ng/day from water published in a 2021 paper. The vaginal exposure pathway “is poorly studied”, she added. “Industry leaders really need to get together to figure out the best practices for avoiding this,” Scranton said.
