Also on April 13, Pressley addressed a serious health issue. She focused on the use of formaldehyde in products affecting Black women and girls, raising concerns with the FDA over regulatory delays, stating, "Formaldehyde continues to contribute to a public health crisis on Black women & girls. By using products with this harmful chemical, they face higher risks of breast & uterine cancer. We wrote to @US_FDA demanding answers on the continued delay in implementing its ban."

Pressley, born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1974, has lived in Boston and represents Massachusetts' 7th District with a focus on issues such as public health and community engagement. The Congresswoman continues to engage her constituents through various initiatives.
