What Clorox says and does about PFAS

Clorox publishes an actual named restricted substances list for its US retail and professional cleaning products, and twelve specific perfluorinated chemicals appear on it, including PFOS and PFOA salts and long-chain perfluorinated carboxylic acids. Clorox says listed substances are not intentionally added to products in those categories. The word PFAS does not appear on that page, so the restriction is a list of named chemicals rather than a commitment covering PFAS as a class.
