Why 8796 to start

It adds up, line by line.

Every product starts at 96. Flags, the brand's transparency grade and any recall linked to this product take points away. Nothing else moves the number, and no brand can pay to move it.

Flags-4 points in all

1 flagged ingredient.

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

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

SmartyKat

Cat toys and scratchers. Graded from the 2 products of theirs in this catalogue, not from an audit of the company.

Not enough to grade: we hold 2 panels of theirs. They list materials as a phrase ("soft plush, catnip, feathers, ribbons, and crinkle materials") without naming the fabrics or plastics. 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.
