What to look at for this product

If your bed pillow sham has decorative front fabric and backing, check that the disclosed fibers identify the materials used in both of those panels.

If your sham is supplied without pillow stuffing, confirm the manufacturing country for its flat textile fabric with the maker sewing the sham.

If your sham has a different backing fabric this season, request fiber evidence identifying the new backing used behind its decorative front panel.

If your sham is destined for Minnesota stores, ask whether PFAS were added to the decorative textile or the backing material during finishing.

If your sham is packaged with optional care directions, check those instructions with the sewing factory against the front fabric and the backing construction.

If your sham carries a company RN, confirm the registered business identified by that number on the label supplied with its decorative fabric cover.

Labels and state rules

Fiber content, country of origin and RN; flat goods must state the country where the fabric was made.

Minnesota bans PFAS; California AB 1817 applies. Stuffed products need a registration number and an "All New Material" label in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
