Glad I did not toss anything...

I stopped paying attention to all these things.

I read it.
"The individual recommendation—throw away your black plastic spatula—might not change, but the policy recommendation would change, because policy recommendations are not just directional, they also include a sense of urgency or priority, which depends on magnitude."

So whether cheap black kitchen utensils have a little bit of problematic flame ret@rdant chemicals that should be nowhere near the insides or a person or only a littler bit of problematic flame ret@rdant chemicals that should be nowhere near the insides or a person, you are going to keep yours?

I threw mine away years ago, after I was out of college and getting good kitchen stuff. But in light of this study, all of them should be recalled from stores and tossed from households.
