Sharland England French Ticking Stripe Blackout Curtain Panel vs Seaton Textured Cotton Light Filtering Curtain: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag PFAS in blackout lining treatment (DWR or flame retardant), Formaldehyde-releasing resins in finish curing, Coating degradation and microfiber shedding and Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing on the Crate and Barrel and not on the Pottery Barn.
• We flag Azo dyes (synthetic dye toxicity) and VOC off-gassing (formaldehyde, toluene, xylene from sizing or packaging adhesives) on the Pottery Barn and not on the Crate and Barrel.
• The Crate and Barrel is cotton/cotton-blend fabric with blackout lining, DWR treatment unspecified where the Pottery Barn is 100% cotton, uncoated, 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 Pottery Barn is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Crate and Barrel grade, at 35% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
