Amazing that you can extrapolate all that from almost no information.
Did I or did I not of my own volition ask a question about potential
hazards anyone might know about?

So, I take it you have no actual information to impart and prefer
instead to bitch, carp, make assertions you have no basis to make?

I've read that you should only use soft materials such as plastic or
wood on non-stick cookware and once the integrity of the surface is
damaged you shouldn't use it because the particles aren't good for
you. Fumes can be deadly to birds. Have I made an in-depth study of
the chemistry behind them? Nope. Have you?

Do you have anything useful to add to the thread?
