Lola Olivia Inc. failed to disclose health risks associated with chest binder use and misrepresented the devices as ‘undergarments,’ a district judge wrote.

A New York-based retailer must immediately stop sales and shipments of harmful chest binders to any individual or entity within Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton said on Monday.

“I will never allow radical companies like Lola Olivia to abuse Texas children by ‘transitioning’ them,” Paxton said in a March 9 post on X. He said that helping to transition a minor is child abuse.
