Everlast Cascade Green Artificial Turf Grass Carpet
Avoid until manufacturer discloses coating composition and PFAS status.
Artificial turf typically uses water and stain-resistant coatings that may contain PFAS. Everlast Cascade does not publicly disclose coating chemicals or PFAS testing.

What Everlast Cascade Green Grass Carpet is made of, ingredients and materials
Everlast Cascade Green is polyethylene or polypropylene synthetic fiber with an unspecified protective coating and likely infill materials (sand, rubber crumb, or polyurethane). The coating composition is not disclosed by ForeverLawn, which is the primary safety gap, since coatings on artificial turf are the primary vector for PFAS and other water-resistant chemicals. Polyethylene and polypropylene themselves are relatively stable when not heated, but degradation over time and UV exposure can release microplastic particles into soil and dust.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
Microplastic shedding
Polyethylene and polypropylene fibers degrade under UV exposure and foot traffic, releasing microplastics into soil, dust, and air. Everlast Cascade Green's outdoor use means chronic shedding is virtually inevitable; infill materials (rubber crumb or sand) also contribute particulate exposure.
Heavy metals
Artificial turf infill (especially recycled rubber crumb) may contain lead, cadmium, or zinc. ForeverLawn does not publicly disclose infill composition or testing for Everlast Cascade Green, making risk assessment impossible.
Source, FDA ↗Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing
Synthetic turf and adhesives used during installation release VOCs, especially in warm conditions or enclosed spaces. Everlast Cascade Green's coating and binders are unspecified, so off-gassing profile cannot be estimated.
Leachates from unidentified coating into soil or groundwater
Artificial turf coatings (intended to be water-repellent and durable) have been found to leach chemicals into soil and stormwater in independent studies. ForeverLawn's refusal to disclose coating identity means this risk cannot be mitigated or verified.
What’s reassuring
Antimony in polyester or dyes
Polyethylene turf does not typically contain antimony catalyst residues (a concern mainly in polyester textiles), and no testing data for Everlast Cascade Green indicates this hazard. Still possible in colorant chemistry if not disclosed.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
ForeverLawn has not published material safety data sheets, PFAS testing results, or certifications (such as OEKO-TEX or similar third-party standards) specific to Everlast Cascade Green. The manufacturer's silence on coating chemistry is not uncommon in the artificial turf industry but is a material liability for consumers seeking safety transparency. No public recalls or health complaints specific to this product line are on record, but this absence does not indicate safety assurance.
How it compares in its category
Artificial turf products vary widely; some brands (e.g., a few European manufacturers) voluntarily disclose PFAS testing and use fluorine-free water repellents. ForeverLawn's lack of disclosure places Everlast Cascade Green in the lower tier of transparency within the category. Most artificial turf carries similar microplastic shedding and heavy-metal-in-infill risks; the difference is whether the manufacturer owns and communicates those risks.
If you buy it
Ensure the product is installed in well-ventilated outdoor or semi-outdoor spaces; prolonged indoor use may increase microplastic inhalation and off-gassing exposure. Avoid high-temperature contact (e.g., grills or hot water splash) to minimize polymer degradation and chemical leaching into soil or groundwater. Regularly rinse and brush to reduce dust and loose fiber; replace infill and inspect for deterioration every 3 to 5 years. Keep children and pets away from the surface during and immediately after installation and chemical treatment.
