Flags-8 points in all

2 flagged ingredients.

Avoid first. Each flag costs points in the score above; where a flag has an entry behind it, it links to the evidence.

Caution-4

Fragrance

An undisclosed scent blend and a common trigger for skin and airway irritation.

Caution-4

Undisclosed material

The maker doesn't say what this part is made of, so there is nothing to look up; the flag is about the missing name, not a known hazard.

CTransparency

Earth Rated

Waste bags, wipes and pee pads. Graded from what the packaging and its pages state, not from an audit of the company.

Its FAQ names the 35% virgin plastic in its waste bags (HDPE, LLDPE) but not the polymer in the 65% recycled share, and its pee pads name only their FSC-certified pulp. The C grade takes 5 points off this product's score.

Independent testing & contaminants

No independent testing on file.

Third-party lab findings for things that never appear on an ingredient label. This is separate from the score above and does not change it.

We haven't found published third-party lab results (PFAS, heavy metals, phthalates) for this product. That is not a clean bill of health, just an absence of data.

This page was corrected once.

  • Oct 13, 2026 The page now shows Panel Score 83 instead of Not enough data, with a caution for Undisclosed material beside the one for Fragrance. Replaced our materials line with what Earth Rated's FAQ says, and Earth Rated's transparency grade is now C. Our line read “recycled polyethylene film”, but Earth Rated says its bags are “65% certified post-consumer recycled plastic and 35% virgin plastic (HDPE, LLDPE)”. It names the virgin plastic but not the recycled share, so that line carries the caution for a material the maker doesn't name. It is about the missing name, not a known hazard. Checked on Earth Rated's FAQ on October 13, 2026. We had graded Earth Rated B because its compostable bags named every material. It no longer lists them, and its other bags name only the 35% virgin plastic, so the grade is now C.
