Skip until materials fully disclosed; waterproof pouches often use PFAS-based water-repellent coating.
This floating phone pouch achieves IPX8 waterproofing through an unspecified coating, standard for this category but frequently PFAS-based. The brand provides no material transparency, PFAS statements, or third-party certification. Without explicit disclosure or verification, waterproof pouches carry meaningful PFAS concern.

Why this grade
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment

Vague safety claims only
Uses vague language ("eco-friendly", "clean") without a specific PFAS statement.
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.
