Study finds black plastic kitchen utensils contain toxic chemicals, but risks lower than first reported.

A recent study highlighted that black plastic products, including kitchen utensils, often contain flame retardants and other toxic chemicals due to being made from recycled electronic waste. Initially, the study suggested these chemicals posed significant health risks, but an error in calculations was found, showing the actual risk was much lower than initially reported. Despite this, the study's authors still recommend avoiding these products, advocating for wood and stainless steel as safer alternatives.
