Cloudy Blue Diaper Pail

The pail uses a sliding lid with a rubber seal claimed to trap odors, but no gasket specification, seal geometry detail, or durability claim beyond marketing language is published for how it performs over repeated daily use.

This represents 13% of the total score.

The shell is stainless steel with a powder coating, ABS plastic trim, and a silicone seal ring, with no antimicrobial additive named or implied; a retailer's own compliance listing corroborates this component breakdown for the finished pail.

This represents 12% of the total score.

This pail is designed to use any standard trash bag rather than a proprietary refill, so no resin, recycled-content percentage, or compostability claim is published for a dedicated refill bag.

This represents 11% of the total score.

The steel pail itself uses no scented bags, and its powder-coated shell does not absorb odor, but there is no explicit free-from statement separately naming fragrance, dye and lotion for this product.

This represents 10% of the total score.

We queried the complete CPSC recall registry (9,966 records, 1973-2026) and found one match: a 2019 recall of Ubbi bath toys for a choking hazard, unrelated to diaper pails. It was handled with proactive outreach, with no injuries reported.

This represents 10% of the total score.

Two independent retailers, Pottery Barn Kids and Walmart, each carry GREENGUARD Gold Certified in their own product compliance data for this steel diaper pail, indicating VOC emissions of the finished product have been certified rather than just claimed by the brand.

This represents 8% of the total score.

The pail is made of stainless steel with powder coating, ABS white plastic components, and a silicone seal ring, a component-level breakdown corroborated by a retailer listing and an independent reviewer.

This represents 8% of the total score.

A childproof lock on the sliding lid is claimed, but no mechanism detail is given for how the lock resists a toddler, and body stability against tipping is not addressed anywhere in the product copy.

This represents 8% of the total score.

The pail itself is not a skin-contact product, and no dermatological or hypoallergenic testing claim is published for it; an EWG-verified claim we found applies only to bundled wipes in a gift set, not the pail.

This represents 7% of the total score.

We found a customer-service contact for defective products, but the country of manufacture and warranty terms for this pail are not published; a retailer Q&A confirms one scenario is excluded from warranty without stating what the warranty actually covers.

This represents 7% of the total score.

The shell material is clearly identified as stainless steel with powder coating, which is broadly recyclable, but no explicit end-of-life or recycling guidance is published distinguishing the steel body from the ABS plastic trim and silicone seal.

This represents 6% of the total score.
