Wipeable Stain Resistant French Acrylic Coated Tablecloth
Skip unless coating is independently verified PFAS-free; acrylic coatings for stain resistance often use legacy or fluorinated chemistry.
Bed Bath & Beyond's product description does not disclose the chemistry of its acrylic stain-resistant coating. Wipeable, stain-resistant coatings on textiles historically rely on durable water repellents (DWRs) that may contain PFAS or other fluorinated compounds.

Why this grade

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
