Resources
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of thousands of "forever chemicals" that have been used in a wide variety of products since the 1950s. Generally, they are found in nonstick coatings on packaging and cookware, stain-resistant clothes and carpets, paints and coatings, firefighting foam, wire jackets, cosmetics and hygiene products, and many other products used daily.
If you manufacture and sell children's furniture or furnishings on Amazon, compliance is not optional. Amazon requires children's products intended for use by children up to 12 years of age to comply with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. But beyond meeting baseline legal requirements, today's parents and retail buyers want proof that the products their children use every day are genuinely safe.
