High risk

Diaper bags with waterproof interior linings treated with PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) for stain and water resistance.

What is this product?

Diaper bags with waterproof interior linings treated with PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) for stain and water resistance. Parents reach into these bags dozens of times daily to retrieve bottles, pacifiers, snacks, and changing supplies — transferring PFAS from the bag lining to their hands and subsequently to the baby. Changing pad inserts are often made from the same PFAS-treated material and are placed in direct contact with the infant's skin during diaper changes. PFAS migrate from interior surfaces to stored items (bottles, pacifiers, food pouches) through surface contact. A 2023 study found PFAS in 60%+ of tested diaper bags.
