Slickblue Multi-layer Jewelry Organizer Storage Box
Lower concern product. Minimal PFAS risk typical of storage organizers.
Slickblue jewelry organizer is a plastic and fabric storage box with no disclosed water-resistant or non-stick coatings that commonly contain PFAS. No public lab data available, but material type poses lower inherent risk.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This organizer is a rigid plastic storage box (likely polypropylene or ABS) with fabric-lined compartments for jewelry storage. The plastic shell poses minimal leaching risk since it holds non-food items and sees no heat exposure. Fabric linings (typically polyester blend or cotton) are the secondary concern, as they may shed microfibers or off-gas if stored in very warm environments, though risk is low in typical indoor use.
The brand's record and disclosure
Macy's is a major retailer with established supplier oversight but does not prominently disclose chemical safety standards specific to storage accessories. No recalls or public safety controversies are documented for this product line. The brand's silence on PFAS does not indicate a problem for storage organizers, which are not a typical vector for PFAS contamination in consumer goods.
How it compares in its category
Plastic jewelry organizers are among the lower-risk storage products since they contact only personal items, not food or skin for extended periods. Fabric-lined compartments are standard across the category and present similar microfiber and off-gassing profiles. This product sits in the middle of the market for materials and construction; no significant advantage over competitors, but no notable disadvantage either.
If you buy it
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to minimize any off-gassing from plastic or fabric. Do not expose to heat sources, steam, or moisture that could degrade the plastic or promote mold in fabric linings. Periodically wipe the plastic exterior with a dry cloth to remove dust; the box requires no special maintenance. Replace if the plastic becomes brittle, discolored, or shows signs of degradation after several years of use.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Microplastic shedding from fabric linings
Polyester or synthetic blend fabrics in compartments may shed microfibers over time, especially if rubbed or compressed. Jewelry storage typically does not involve skin contact, limiting exposure, but loose fibers could theoretically settle on jewelry or be released into air if stored in a warm space.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) off-gassing from plastic
No recalls or reported off-gassing complaints for this product. Modern polypropylene and ABS used in storage boxes emit minimal VOCs at room temperature; risk is negligible in typical indoor conditions over the product lifespan.
Formaldehyde in fabric finishes
Inexpensive fabric linings may contain residual formaldehyde from anti-wrinkle or stiffening treatments applied during manufacturing. Direct contact with jewelry minimizes skin exposure, but off-gassing into closed storage compartments is theoretically possible if ventilation is poor.
Mold or bacterial growth in fabric if exposed to moisture
Fabric-lined compartments can absorb moisture if stored in humid environments, potentially supporting mold growth. This is an environmental/maintenance issue rather than an inherent material hazard but becomes more likely if the organizer is placed in a bathroom or high-humidity zone.
Dye migration from colored fabrics
Fabric linings are unlikely to transfer dyes to jewelry under normal storage conditions since they remain dry and undisturbed. No documented cases of staining or chemical transfer from this product type have been reported.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% 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.
