Polyfluorinated compounds are commonly found in durable water repellent textile coatings, non-stick cookware, packaging and fire-retardant foams, but they should be avoided for nonessential uses due to their persistence in the environment and their toxicological profile.
some companies have already employed a class-based approach to banning PFAS. For example, IKEA has phased out all PFAS in its textile products, while other businesses such Levi Strauss & Co. outlawed all PFAS in its products effective January 2018 … many other brands have also done the same.
