A chemical used in the manufacture of Teflon and other nonstick and stain-resistant products should be considered a "likely" carcinogen, according to an independent scientific review panel advising the Environmental Protection Agency.

Let me guess, the panel was composed of a greenpeace member, a ALF member and a ELF member.

More than likely, it was made up of benefactors of the Trial Lawyers who are just finishing off the asbestos industry, and cannot wait for peer-reviewed studies which might slow things down on the looting and plunder schedule.

ANY polymer (Nylon, Acetal, and especially PVC) will pyrolize to yeild toxic compounds. At a higher temperature, PTFE* can as well.

This one is just too easy to penetrate.
