[quote=Anonymous]Hello everyone.  I would like to address the concerns brought up by this thread.  My name is Shawn with 3M Scotchgard(TM).

A. Scotchgard was reformulated on a voluntary basis in April 2000 to remove the Perfluorooctanyl Chemical (PFOS) from the product.  We found that this chemical was not breaking down as quickly as we had originally determined and 3M decided to change the product.  This was a voluntary recall on 3M's part and was not subject to the EPA at all.  A new formula came out later that same year, and this is the current formula that has been sold ever since.  You can find more info about the recall at http://www.scotchgard.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/NAScotchgard/Global/About_Scotchgard/Environmental/
and you can find info about this chemistry from the EPA's website at http://www.epa.gov/oppt/

B. Both the old formula and current formula are safe for pregnant women to use when used as directed.  The formulas do not and did not cause any harm to the mother or cause any birth defects.  You can review the Material Safety Data Sheets on Scotchgard online.  Any safety concerns about any chemicals in products are listed on these sheets.  We list each MSDS on the individual product tab pages at www.scotchgard.com.

If you have questions about any of this or other questions on Scotchgard, you can also call us at 1-800-367-7683 and we would be happy to help.[/quote]
