DuPont is a HUGE employer, and pumps millions into the local economy and provides good products. (No, I don't work for them or have any connection to them at all.)

Besides, there are lots of alternatives on the market. If you don't like Teflon, then coat a cast-iron pan with butter or oil.

Cover-up? Conspiracy? Not a chance. The company is too busy generating wealth and providing employment to be bothered covering things up.

We don't live in a risk-free world. Crossing the street or driving to the store puts a person in way more risk than any potential Teflon issue.

WTF ? You can't be serious can you ?

Your "logic" goes something like: 1)DuPont does more good than bad so leave them alone even if there is a possibility a certain chemical in teflon may have polluted some of the water system in Ohio, may have dispersed widely into the atmosphere elsewhere and may have or may in future affect the health of its workers.
2)The DuPont records revealed during discovery indicating an awareness of potential health risks years before they were made public do not constitute a cover up because DuPont is too busy making money to engage in covering up such risks.

Please tell me you're not in public office, work in a position of authority or influence, have any responsibility for public welfare and all you have to worry about is not over-cooking the french fries when you go to work !

I know a DuPont insider. Wait until you hear about the debilitating effects that NOLFET (the adhesive they use to put teflon on) is having on its workers, the communities in which teflon is manufactured and applied and the environment in general. You'll be shocked.

So both the Chicago Tribune and the EPA could have saved themselves the embarrassment of being completely wrong if only they'd bothered to check DuPont's bottom line before they made these utterly idiotic accusations. Why, we could even replace the EPA with forensic accountants. Why bother checking drinking water and emissions when all we really need to know is whether they're "too busy generating wealth and providing employment to be bothered covering things up"? Makes sense to me!!

Swing and a miss. Nope, not a member of the CC. Just one who appreciates common sense.

C'mon, people, put on your thinking hats. We all know that newspapers are chock full of the two things that sell the best: fear and sex.

I don't believe everything I read. I apply common sense. It simply does not make sense that the DuPont Corp. would knowingly and maliciously continue to make a product that would harm their customers. DuPont's Board of Directors are not fools. They, and their company, could be held liable, and in the litigation-happy times in which we live, I simply cannot see them making that decision.

The interesting thing about Teflon is that its invention was crutial to the development of the atomic bomb and the manufacture of uranium 235 - so, without it, no atomic bomb in the 1940's??

You're right. The technical connection is a fact. To happygrump's way of thinking DuPont's contribution to frying japanese children in Hiroshima should help excuse it's blatant cover up regarding the manufacture and use of Teflon.
