Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton won a court order blocking a New York City online retailer from selling chest binders to girls in his state.
Paxton secured the temporary restraining order against Lola Olivia, Inc., the attorney general’s office announced on Monday in a news release. The order immediately prohibits Lola Olivia from selling or shipping the products to anyone in Texas.
In February 2026, Paxton sued the retailer for marketing chest binders to Texas girls as young as 9 to “transition” them, The Dallas Express reported. The company described the products as “safe and effective” but did not disclose health risks to buyers.
Studies link chest binding to at least 28 medical conditions, including permanent breast damage, back and chest pain, shortness of breath, rib fractures, compromised lung function, and difficulty breastfeeding later in life.
“There is no safe limit, and no safe method, of breast binding. Binding your chest is bad for your health and should not be encouraged,” the Women’s Rights Network posted on X.
“I will never allow radical companies like Lola Olivia to abuse Texas children by ‘transitioning’ them,” Paxton said. “I have now secured an order that stops Lola Olivia from selling chest binders that hurt young girls in Texas. My office will continue to protect our state’s children against radical, sick corporations willing to harm kids with their dangerous agenda.”
The TRO is posted on the attorney general’s website.
