PFAS are concerning, the CDC says, because “studies of laboratory animals given large amounts of PFAS indicate that some PFAS may affect growth and development. In addition, these animal studies indicate PFAS may affect reproduction, thyroid function, the immune system, and injure the liver.”

PEOPLE reached out to the companies listed as having products with the highest levels of PFAS in the report for comment. At press time, CVS was the only company to reply.

“CVS Pharmacy’s store brands are designed to maximize quality and safety, work as intended, comply with regulations, and satisfy customers,” a rep for CVS told PEOPLE in an email. “We’re in the process of reviewing and evaluating the information in Mamavation’s bandage report.”
