Flat, published prices. Built for small outdoor, apparel, footwear, ski wax and cookware brands. Not legal advice.

The form takes an hour. Getting your mill to answer takes three weeks.

Every state asks which PFAS is in which part, what it does and how much is there. Your fabric mill or wax supplier holds that answer, and the first request usually goes unanswered.

We send one request per supplier and material, in their language, and follow up on a fixed schedule with your buyer copied. Every request, reply and silence goes into the log. If a state ever asks how you got your data, the log is your answer.

We work with brands that make rain shells, boots, packs and tents, ski and bike wax, cookware and home textiles.

    Five steps, about an hour of your time

    1. Scope Check

      45-minute call, summary the next business day

      Send your product list. We learn your materials, suppliers and where you ship, then send a one-page answer for each state with a fixed quote.

    2. Grouping

      Days 2 to 3

      Products that differ only by color, size or finish become one entry. A 38-SKU line is often 8 or 9 entries.

    3. Supplier requests

      Usually 2 to 4 weeks

      The schedule above, run for every supplier and material, until we have an answer or a documented silence.

    4. You approve the data

      One review

      You see every product group, chemical and concentration range before anything is submitted. Nothing goes to a state without your written approval.

    5. Filed, with the record

      Within 10 business days of answers

      We submit each report and send your evidence pack: what was filed, every supplier response, open items and your next dates.

    What you keep: the evidence pack

    One document per filing round. Hand it to a retailer asking for PFAS paperwork, or to a state asking how you got your data.

    • What was filed, where and when, with confirmations
    • Every product group and what was reported for it
    • Products not reported, and why, with the supplier declaration attached
    • The full supplier log, including the ones that never answered
    • Open items and your next dates in every state

    Common questions

    All questions
    Do I have to file if my products are made overseas?

    Usually, yes. These laws look at whose brand is on the product. If your brand is on it and it's sold in the state, the duty typically sits with you, not your factory. If the maker has no US presence, the importer or first US distributor is usually responsible.

    We think our products are PFAS-free. Is there anything to do?

    Possibly very little. What matters is having it in writing: a signed supplier declaration for each material. A Scope Check confirms where you stand and gives you the paper trail that retailers with PFAS policies ask for.

    I missed Minnesota's September 15 deadline. What now?

    File as soon as you can, with a record of your efforts to get supplier information. Minnesota's penalty statute caps administrative penalties at $25,000 per inspection and generally requires a penalty to be forgiven once the violation is corrected, unless it's repeated or serious. Read more in the Minnesota section.

    Are you lawyers?

    No. We prepare and file reports and tell you what the rules say. Anything that needs a legal opinion, we flag for your attorney, and we're glad to work alongside them.
