About this test

3 samples were screened for 18 phthalates plus BPA, BPS, and BPF. Measurements are reported by sample in ng/g, including non-detect and quantitation-limit status where available.

This record is derived from PlasticList data and retains its source-specific collection information. Results describe the tested samples and lots at a point in time; they do not establish that every unit of a product is universally safe or contaminated.
