Yes — PUR holds a certified PFOA/PFOS claim. Not marketing copy: an accredited certifier lists it, and you can look the listing up.

What "removes PFAS" actually covers
The certified claim is PFOA/PFOS reduction — the two legacy compounds the standards test for — not "all PFAS", a family of thousands of chemicals. A certified filter is still the strongest verifiable option a pitcher or fridge filter can offer; just read the claim as written. Standards background: 42 vs 53 vs 401.
