Seventh Generation Sensitive Protection Diapers
Quick verdict
- Verdict
- Clean
- Evidence
- Moderate
TCF core, fragrance- and dye-free, heavy-metal-free printing ink, and non-detect organic fluorine (a PFAS marker), but likely discontinued, so any stock you find may be residual inventory from an older package.
Check the package version: the research does not yet confirm an exact match to every current product. See version details.
- Product appears absent from current catalog. Marketplace stock may represent an older/residual package generation.
- Good
- Historical generation had a relatively clear material disclosure.
- Historical/current tested Sensitive Protection sample was reported non-detect for organic fluorine above 10 ppm.
- Caution
- Regular Sensitive Protection diapers are absent from Seventh Generation's current diaper catalog.
- Any marketplace stock may be residual inventory from an older formulation/package generation.
What we could not verify
- No explicit manufacturer discontinuation date located.
- Amazon/residual inventory package generation needs exact identification.
- Product appears absent from current catalog.
- Marketplace stock may represent an older/residual package generation.
Why we reached this verdict
TCF wood-pulp core, fragrance-, lotion-, and dye-free topsheet, heavy-metal-free printing ink, tested non-detect for organic fluorine (a PFAS marker) in independent lab testing. Availability note: this line appears absent from Seventh Generation's current diaper catalog, and our research treats it as probably discontinued, any stock you find at a retailer may be residual inventory from an older package generation rather than an actively-produced current product. Check the exact package against the research below before assuming it matches.
