A new report claims that a type of “forever chemical” has been indicated to be present in adhesive bandages from popular brands like Band-Aids and Curad — as well as in-store brands from CVS, Wal-Mart, and Target.
An independent lab test found organic fluorine — which studies say can indicate the presence of PFAS, aka, “forever chemicals” — in the adhesives, and on the absorbent pads. The lab’s findings were reported on the advocacy blog Mamavation, which teamed up with Environmental Health Sciences to have the samples tested at an Environmental Protection Agency-certified lab.
