A new study found high levels of flame retardants in black plastic items, such as spatulas, pasta servers and takeout sushi containers.
“They could have been made from recycled electronic waste and electrical equipment — so TVs, computers, appliances, things that, by definition, get treated with flame retardants to prevent fire in your home,” Charles-Guzman explained. And these electronics could have been treated with these flame retardants years before they were banned. For instance, decabromodiphenyl ether was only banned in 2021.This is clearly not good news, but knowledge is power.
