Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced a major victory in his case against Lola Olivia Inc., a company that was selling chest binders to underage Texas girls to aid them in gender transitions.
According to a press release from Paxton’s office, the case began in February and focused on Lola Olivia marketing their chest binders as “safe and effective.” Paxton alleges that they failed to inform customers about significant health risks associated with the use of chest binders.
The press release detailed those health concerns, stating: “Research has shown that chest binding is linked to no less than twenty-eight different medical conditions, including permanently harming their breasts, causing back and chest pain, shortness of breath, and even rib fracture.”
Paxton has officially secured a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) that blocks Lola Olivia from selling these binders to any individuals or entities within the State of Texas.
