EPA Warns of Teflon Health Risks

Jan 13, 2005 | AP A chemical used to make the nonstick substance Teflon is being considered by the Environmental Protection Agency as a potential health risk.

"We've not offered any determinations of risks," said Charles Auer, director of EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics.
