Crate & Barrel Merrow Stitch Warm Natural Organic Cotton Tablecloth vs 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 Threshold.
• We flag Fluorocarbon-based DWR coating (PFAS-adjacent hazard class) and Polyester microfiber shedding on the Threshold and not on the Crate and Barrel.
• The Crate and Barrel is 100% organic cotton, no coating where the Threshold is polyester blend with DWR coating (likely fluorocarbon-based), 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 Threshold grade, at 45% confidence against 88%, because it discloses less.
