Outdoor Floral Pillow in Yellow and Teal. Accent Lumbar pillow, Sunbrella Pillow with Brush Fringe, Euro Sham Decorative Pillow Cover

F · High PFAS

Skip or contact seller, Sunbrella's water-repellent coating durability likely involves PFAS, and no disclosure is given.

Sunbrella fabric is widely used for outdoor cushions and is durable, but the brand historically uses fluorochemical water-repellent coating finishes (PFAS-containing treatments) without transparent disclosure. This Etsy listing provides no material safety or PFAS claims.

What we don’t know

This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% 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.
