What Eddie Bauer says and does about PFAS
We found no mention of PFAS on Eddie Bauer’s own sustainability pages. In February 2023, after a Bloomberg Green report on PFAS in outdoor gear, Eddie Bauer said it planned to remove PFAS from all products by spring 2024, and CBS News listed it among brands that had pledged to phase PFAS out. We found no public confirmation that the spring 2024 goal was met.
