Munchkin 3404834058 Waterproof Costume Bib Assortment Multicolor | Waterproof
Skip, waterproof bibs often use PFAS water-repellent coating (water-repellent coating) coatings; Munchkin discloses nothing about theirs.
This bib is marketed as 'waterproof' but Munchkin provides no information about the coating chemistry or whether PFAS are used. Waterproof textiles commonly rely on water-repellent coating treatments that historically contain fluorinated compounds. Without brand transparency or third-party testing, assume elevated risk.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 42% 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.
