The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This charger uses plastic and rubber housing with an unspecified waterproof coating. Waterproof electronics commonly employ PFAS (PFAS "forever chemicals") in their coatings to repel water and oil, but Waterproof Co. has not disclosed the coating chemistry. Without material transparency, you cannot assess whether the housing or internal components leach additives into skin contact areas or degrade over thermal cycles.
The brand's record and disclosure
Waterproof Co. maintains silence on PFAS use and has no published material safety data sheets or third-party certifications visible in public records. No known recalls or controversies are documented, but the absence of disclosure on a product category notorious for PFAS reliance represents a red flag. Competing brands in waterproof charging have begun phasing PFAS or obtaining certifications; this brand shows no comparable commitment.
How it compares in its category
Most waterproof USB chargers rely on PFAS or silicone-based coatings. Premium alternatives (e.g., military-grade or medical-certified chargers) typically publish chemical composition and undergo biocompatibility testing. Budget and mid-range products, including this one, rarely disclose coating chemistry, making them harder to vet. Few mainstream chargers carry PFAS-free certifications, so comparison shopping is limited.
If you buy it
Avoid prolonged skin contact with the housing, as unidentified plastic additives may migrate under warmth or sweat. Do not expose the charger to sustained high heat (above 50C) which accelerates leaching. Check the cable connector and housing annually for cracks or discoloration, which signal coating degradation. If you must use it, prioritize non-contact charging pads as an alternative.
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.”
Plastic additive leaching (unspecified housing)
Composition of the plastic and rubber housing is not disclosed. Standard molded electronics can contain BPA, phthalates, or antimony stabilizers that may migrate with heat, moisture, or prolonged contact.
Waterproof coating degradation and particle shedding
Unspecified waterproof coatings degrade over repeated thermal and moisture cycles. Degradation can release microparticles or monomers; without knowing the coating material, the toxicity of shed particles cannot be assessed.
Internal electronics off-gassing or thermal stress
Sealed waterproof housings trap heat and volatile organic compounds from solder, adhesives, and circuit board resins. Poor thermal design may increase VOC accumulation or release of formaldehyde and other off-gases during use.
PFAS bioaccumulation from coating contact
Waterproof coatings on this product category frequently contain PFAS. Without disclosure, assume coating may shed PFAS onto skin or into hand sweat, especially if handled frequently or in warm conditions.
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.
