At Turf Distributors, we are here to clarify that not all artificial grass contains PFAS.

They are commonly found in countless products. However, it‘s crucial to emphasize that not all artificial grass contains these chemicals.   ### **Debunking Misconceptions** #### *Separating Fact from Fiction*   Misconceptions about PFAS in artificial grass can cause unnecessary concerns, so let‘s clear them up. - **Not All Artificial Grass Contains PFAS:** We offer PFAS-free options for safety. - **PFAS-Free Grass is Durable:** Our high-quality, PFAS-free artificial grass is both durable and long-lasting. - **Presence of PFAS Poses Risks:** Our commitment to PFAS-free products addresses these concerns. - **Easy Identification of PFAS-Free Products:** We simplify the selection process with a “PFAS-Free” badge on our website and materials.   ### **Our Commitment to Safety** #### *How Turf Distributors Ensures PFAS-Free Artificial Grass*   At Turf Distributors, your safety is our top priority.

It passed the House and Senate but was [vetoed by Governor Newsom](https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/AB-1423-VETO-1.pdf) due to concerns about enforceability.   ### **Conclusion** #### *Turf Distributors‘ Dedication to Safety*   At Turf Distributors we are committed to providing you with PFAS-free, safe artificial grass.
