Default Any hazard with wok/pan with Teflon coated exterior?

Just got this large wok/pan that's coated inside and out with Teflon.
The bottom of it comes in contact with the heating element, so
obviously the coating on the flat bottom gets somewhat scraped and
dinged.

What about those little flakes of Teflon that are getting burned on
the heating element, are whatever fumes this creates toxic? I believe
the packaging said it was coated with Xylon (?) with some indication
that it's not toxic.

Any thoughts/input regarding this?


Thanks
