How to verify a certified claim →Verify in the certifier’s registry ↗- PFOA/PFOS reduction is claimed by the manufacturer; the registry listing covers lead but not PFAS.
- Microplastics reduction (NSF/ANSI 401) is claimed for some Brita pitchers, but we could not confirm it for this pitcher model (OB46).

Start from your water, not the product.
Plumbing inside a home can add lead that the system record can't show. A tap test tells you what reaches your glass.
