Most people here are sophisticated enough not to use
these items, but this may give you info to share with
those who aren't.
..........
Many black plastic kitchen items are made from recycled
electronic materials that contain toxic flame
retardants and other chemicals.

note this study was published this month..
excerpt from another article:
"The study only examined black plastics, so there are no additional details
about whether any other colors of this material may be exposed. The
researchers also didn’t list any brand names involved in the test.
To limit your risk for exposure, you should replace all of the plastic utensils in
your kitchen with stainless steel ones, Megan Liu, one of the lead study authors
and science and policy manager for Toxic-Free Future, told CNN. You may also
want to nix that habit of reusing black plastic takeout containers just to be safe.
"
just another reason to avoid all plastic!
