The 20 outdoor apparel items tested included 13 jackets, three shirts/pullovers, and four pairs of pants. We found the following: We detected PFAS in 15 of 20 jackets, shirts/pullovers, and pants, all of which were marketed as stain- or water-resistant. Although the REI hiking pants were labeled similarly as having a durable water repellent finish, one pair contained PFAS but we did not detect fluorine in the other pair. We detected PFAS in 10 of the 20 tablecloths and napkins tested; 14 were labeled as stain- or water-resistant. In four of the eight PFAS-treated tablecloths, we detected exclusively older PFAS. 
We purchased the majority of these items from two major retailers, REI and Dicks Sporting Goods. Four of the six products purchased at Kohls contained PFAS: a mattress pad, a comforter, a tablecloth, and napkins. USEPA regulations that went into effect in September 2020 prohibit the import of articles containing some of the older PFAS without prior approval; since we purchased these items in the fall of 2020, they may have been imported before the new regulations went into effect.

Older (also known as long-chain) PFAS are defined here as perfluorocarboxylic acids with carbon chain lengths of eight or more and perfluoroalkane sulfonic acids with carbon chain lengths of six or more. Six of eight products purchased at Dicks Sporting Goods tested above our screening level for total fluorine, and we detected PFAS in each of these. Just two of the six napkin sets tested above our screening level for fluorine, and they both contained PFAS: Daily Chef Table Napkins, purchased at Walmart, and Cuisinart Basketweave Microfiber Napkins, purchased at Kohls.

We tested two pairs of hiking pants from REI, a shirt and two pairs of pants purchased at Walmart, and a golf pullover and flannel shirt from Dicks Sporting Goods. Total fluorine testing detected no fluorine in three mattress pads; two of these claimed stain resistance and/or waterproofing, indicating that their makers use alternatives to PFAS to achieve those functions. Among those 35 products that underwent compound-specific testing, PFAS were detected in 34. We did not detect fluorine in two tablecloths labeled as stain- or water-resistant; neither disclosed a separate treatment so it is unclear whether the fabric or weave is inherently resistant or a PFAS-free treatment was used. One of these items included both older and newer PFAS; the other contained only newer PFAS. We detected PFAS in at least one item from each of the 10 retailers.

Two REI-branded jackets made with Gore-Tex tested particularly high for total fluorine, likely due to the use of a PFAS- membrane in addition to a surface treatment. We tested 14 tablecloths and six napkins, and found the following: We detected PFAS in 10 of 14 tablecloths and napkins with stain or water resistance claims. The DSG (Dicks Sporting Goods store brand) jackets contained only newer PFAS, while others, including an Under Armour jacket and Dakine flannel shirt, also contained or were dominated by older PFAS. Our screening for total fluorine identified 35 products containing fluorine at levels above 100 ppm, which we used as a screening level. Executive Summary | Introduction | Methods | Results | Implications | Moving Past PFAS | Recommendations | Report PDF. The Beautyrest mattress pad we tested contained both older and newer PFAS, including all of the fluorotelomer alcohols we tested for; two precursors of the toxic, persistent, and bioaccumulative PFOS; and persistent PFAS including PFHxA and PFOA. We will check it out. Four of five products from Amazon contained PFAS, including the older PFAS banned in the European Union and phased out by major U.S. manufacturers. All rights reserved. We tested four comforters, all of which were labeled as stain- or water-resistant. Suite 540 In one tablecloth, we did not detect PFAS although it tested above the screening level for total fluorine. We tested 13 jackets, including 11 rain jackets, one insulated jacket, and one wind jacket. The laboratory testing we commissioned also included compounds such as PFOA and PFHxA that are the well-known persistent degradation products of PFAS-containing surface treatments.

Of the 14 tablecloths we tested, 11 were labeled as stain- or water-resistant, with varying language including phrases such as spills bead up and wipe away quickly. Nine tested above the screening level of 100 ppm for total fluorine and underwent further testing. We'll certainly do our best to make the service highly-available though, and the results accurate. Two of five items purchased at TJX (including TJ Maxx and HomeGoods) contained PFAS: two tablecloths marketed as stain-resistant. Two name-brand rain jackets, made by Mammut and The North Face, tested below our screening level for fluorine and appear to be made with alternatives to PFAS. Contactless delivery is available with our "Leave at my door" option. Only one of eight tested sheet setspillow protectors marketed as Teflon. All four comforters contained PFAS; all were labeled as stain- or water-resistant. Most (8 of 11) of the tablecloths labeled as stain-or water-resistant contained PFAS. We detected PFAS in both items from Dicks Sporting Goods, including older PFAS in the flannel shirt and newer compounds in the golf pullover. This was possibly due to use of a PFAS treatment we were unable to detect as there are more than 9,000 PFAS and our testing could capture just 51 of them. Eight of 11 products purchased at Walmart tested above our screening level for fluorine, and we detected PFAS in seven of those: a shirt and two pairs of pants labeled as water- or stain-resistant, a tablecloth, a crib mattress cover, a comforter, and a napkin set. If you experience any of the following issues, you're eligible for a refund or credit: damaged/missing items, poor item replacements, late arrival or unprofessional service. Three items contained only newer PFAS, and three contained a mixture of older and newer PFAS. We detected PFAS in nine of the 13 bedding items marketed as stain- or water-resistant. All four contained older PFAS, and the mattress pad and comforter also contained newer PFAS. We tested seven mattress pads or protectors, six of which were labeled as stain- or water-resistant or waterproof. Three items from Walmart contained PFAS, and in all cases the older compounds were most abundant. It's simple. Older PFAS were also detected in the REI-brand Rainwall Jacket for kids. Three of the four comforters contained the older PFAS phased out in some countries; in two of the comforters, these older compounds were the most abundant and both contained the well-known toxic compound PFOA. Only the pillow protectors tested positive for fluorine above the screening level and underwent further testing. If something isn't right, you've got options. Two of the six napkin sets tested contained PFAS; three were marketed as stain-resistant. The widespread presence of PFAS in household textiles and outdoor apparel for stain and water resistance raises concerns about the contribution of these products to human exposures via indoor and outdoor air, house dust, drinking water, food, and breast milk.
