What Reebok says and does about PFAS

We found no PFAS statement from Reebok. One independent lab test by Mamavation on a pair of Reebok running tights found non-detect total fluorine. That is one product, and it is not a finding about the rest of the range.

  • Independent testMamavation sent activewear to a lab for total fluorine, an indicator of PFAS. It lists the Reebok RE Tight Running Carrera Tights as non-detect for total fluorine. This is one product. Mamavation, Non-Toxic Activewear Guide ↗

Sources checked September 30, 2026. A brand statement is the company’s own claim, which we report but have not verified. Our grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests.
