Target Responds

My friend Dalia got a response about wrinkle and stain-free children's clothes.

Dear Target Guest,

Thanks for your comments about the quality and safety of school uniforms sold at Target. Helping to ensure the health and safety of guests and their families is our number one priority at Target.

We have confirmed with our vendors that they do not use Teflon on any of our school uniforms. They do use a Kidshield brand stain resistant finish. The vendors have provided Target with all chemical properties of the formulas that they use, and they've been approved as PFOA free.

We always welcome your questions and feedback so if we can assist you in the future, please contact our Target Guest Relations team at (800) 440-0680. You can also speak with a team member at the Guest Services Desk at your local Target store, or visit us on Target.com. Either way, we're here to help!

I hope we'll see you soon at Target.

So, Teflon's out and Kidshield is in. Fine. However, Kidshield is new and we have yet to see the ramifications of this particular combination of chemicals.

Exercise caution. Is all I'm saying.
