> Independent consumer database grading 23,000+ everyday products A to F for
> PFAS ("forever chemicals") risk, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis (heavy
> metals, coating breakdown, BPA, additives) and a Buy / Buy with care / Skip
> verdict. Free, no signup. Grades are model-based estimates from materials,
> coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, computed on a public
> rubric; they are not lab tests. Citation welcome with a link.
