Malden Mills proudly announced the obtaining of the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certification and that the latest styles will be tested for approval on a rolling basis. The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 guarantees that the textile is free of any harmful substances or poses any threat to human health. The non-lenient Certification includes added applications such as durable water repellents, anti-microbial treatments and wicking agents as well as the original yarn fibers.
