High Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Non-stick cookware coated with PTFE (Teflon) or other PFAS compounds releases toxic particles and gases when overheated or scratched. These 'forever chemicals' accumulate in the body and have been linked to thyroid disease, cancer, and immune dysfunction. Every meal cooked in a scratched non-stick pan is a potential exposure event.
