In an effort to find out just how widely PFCs are used in consumer products, EWG searched the web and store shelves to provide a sampling of available products containing Teflon, Scotchgard, Gore-Tex, Stainmaster or other PFCs. This list is by no means exhaustive, but it demonstrates the depth of the market for PFC applications.
