The recent panic over black spatulas was triggered by a study that incorrectly reported high levels of toxic flame retardants due to a simple math error.
Initially, the study conducted by Toxic-Free Future raised alarm by claiming that black plastic utensils contained dangerously high amounts of toxic chemicals, causing widespread concern.
The editors of Chemosphere clarified that the high levels of flame retardants reported were miscalculated, effectively debunking the previous warnings regarding the safety of black kitchen utensils.
Despite some evidence of flame retardants in certain kitchen utensils, the exaggerated claims regarding health risks were largely based on an arithmetic mistake, leading to unnecessary panic.
