What Salomon says and does about PFAS
Salomon says its footwear range has been free of PFC and PFC EC since the 2020-2021 season, and that its bags followed in spring/summer 2021. It said it expected apparel and winter sports to follow in 2023. Its parent Amer Sports says it is continuing to phase out PFAS. We found no lab test or lawsuit naming Salomon.
