Crate & Barrel Merrow Stitch Warm Natural Organic Cotton Tablecloth vs Mingle & Co. Easy Care Spill-Proof Tablecloth: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Azo dyes and synthetic colorants, Pesticide residues from cotton cultivation and Microbial growth and mold from retained moisture on the Crate and Barrel and not on the Tablecloth Co..
• We flag Fluorinated water-repellent coatings (likely PFAS), Coating degradation and microparticle shedding, Formaldehyde-releasing resins in the textile finish and Leaching of coating chemicals during washing or food contact on the Tablecloth Co. and not on the Crate and Barrel.
• The Crate and Barrel is 100% organic cotton, no coating where the Tablecloth Co. is Textile with unspecified water/stain-repellent coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Crate and Barrel is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Tablecloth Co. grade, at 42% confidence against 88%, because it discloses less.
