Have you purchased period underwear from Thinx since 2016? You might be entitled to financial compensation. Last November, the popular retailer agreed to pay a $5 million settlement in Dickens, et al. v. Thinx Inc., a class action lawsuit regarding its alleged use of harmful chemicals in its period panties. The website where consumers can file claims recently went live — and loyal Thinx customers are making their outrage known across social media. Thinx makes washable, reusable underwear designed to absorb menstrual blood. As ClassAction.org reported, the company has been sued multiple times since 2020 for allegedly misrepresenting its products
