At a glance
Summary
Shein Men's Casual Zipper Faux Leather Jacket scores 1/100. Independent lab testing by Greenpeace (2025) detected formaldehyde, nickel release, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. Nickel release from metal components causes contact dermatitis — one of the most common allergic reactions to clothing. VOCs off-gas from faux leather and are inhaled. Faux leather jackets are particularly prone to chemical off-gassing as PU coatings trap solvents.
