What changed

Attorney General Ken Paxton announced a legal victory against Lola Olivia, Inc., an online retailer based in New York City, by securing a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO). This order prohibits Lola Olivia from selling or shipping chest binders to any individuals or entities within the State of Texas. The lawsuit, initially filed in February 2026, alleged that the company sold chest binders to Texas girls as young as nine years old for gender transition purposes without disclosing significant health risks associated with their use.

The TRO mandates an immediate cessation of sales to Texas residents. This action aims to protect minors from potential health complications linked to chest binding, such as permanent breast harm, back and chest pain, shortness of breath, rib fractures, compromised lung function, and difficulties with future breastfeeding. The Attorney General's office stated its commitment to protecting children from what it termed "radical" and "dangerous" corporate agendas. The specific compliance deadline for the TRO is immediate, with non-compliance potentially leading to further legal action and penalties.

What to do next

Review sales data to ensure no shipments to Texas are ongoing.
Update sales policies to exclude Texas from chest binder sales.
Consult legal counsel regarding potential broader implications of state-level consumer protection actions against online retailers.

Penalties

The document mentions a Temporary Restraining Order, implying that further penalties may be imposed if the order is violated. Specific fines or sanctions are not detailed in this release.

Source document (simplified)

Attorney General Ken Paxton secured legal victory against a radical online retailer based out of New York City, Lola Olivia, Inc. (“Lola Olivia”), effectively stopping the sale of the company’s chest binders to Texas girls.

In February 2026, Attorney General Paxton announced his lawsuit against Lola Olivia for selling chest binders to Texas girls as young as nine-years-old to “transition” them. Lola Olivia has marketed its products as “safe and effective,” and has sold the chest binders to young girls without informing them of the significant health risks associated with use of chest binders.

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. Chest binders have also been shown to compromise lung function and cause difficulty breastfeeding later in life. Lola Olivia’s malicious actions have exposed Texas kids to irreparable bodily harm.

Now, Attorney General Paxton has secured a Temporary Restraining Order (“TRO”) that immediately stops Lola Olivia from selling or shipping chest binders to any individuals or entities within the State of Texas.

“I will never allow radical companies like Lola Olivia to abuse Texas children by ‘transitioning’ them,” said Attorney General Paxton. “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.”
