I believe that DuPont knowingly continued to poison the Parkersburg, West Virginia DuPont employees who worked to make Teflon, as well as the general Ohio River Valley population, with Teflon manufacturing residue. (DuPont paid $343 million to settle the Teflon class action lawsuit.)
I’ve decided to avoid using DuPont's products to the extent possible. And I will certainly not purchase anything that puts money into their revenue streams.
Almost every Teflon-coated pan more than a few years old shows signs of the non-stick surface being scratched off. I don’t necessarily believe that ingesting it represents a health risk, but I don’t care to eat it, and I don’t want my friends and family to eat it.
