... and I used to like Scotchgard so much.


When I was a kid, my parents Scotchgarded everything. Maybe that explains some things about me?!?


The article doesn't mention Scotchgard. Is Scotchgard harmful to humans?


Scotchgard contains PFAS

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotchgard

They reformulated it in 2003 with a PFAS which is less persistent than what it was before but there are still questions about it. If textiles are contaminated with PFAS I'd think they are treating them to get an effect similar to Scotchgard.
